Apples in bloom. It looks like it will be a good crop this fall.


One of the beds of sugar peas. I noticed that the radishes growing in the mint mulch near the peas are much bigger and healthier than those not in the mulch. I think that I will start to incorparate a layer of mulch in the future when planting carrots and radishes.
The greenhouse has been getting into the 90's during the day and staying above 50 at night. I bought two tomotoes and placed them on pots in the greenhouse to "play" with. I have also placed two 100 gallon rubbermaid tubs in the greenhouse. One is housing golden medaka, daphnia, and giant duckweed (images coming soon).

Done!Overall I like this greehouse. The structure is excellent and I don't think that I will have any problems. I do wish that the plastic glazing was a little more substantial as it's fairly thin. I will need to do a bit of weather proofing so that this greehouse can keep the heat. I'm going to add some 100 gallon rubbermaid tubs filled with water to act as a heat sink and to grow goldfish. The first thing that I want is some citrus for the greenhouse.
