Plants in the grenhouse

 

My first attempt at aquaponics.This is an water table that I was given that recirculates water from the bottom trough to the top. I plan to grow plants in the top trough and fish in the bottom.





Begonias in the greenhouse that are waking up.



A tropical plant (name here) added.






Tomatoes in the greenhouse




This is my first attempt at growing tomatoes in the greenhouse. I'm going to try and grow a sweet 1 million (cherry tomato, top image) and an Oregon variety (bottom image). These tomatoes where put into the greenhouse early May and have been fed ~ 1/week with a granular organic fertilizer.

Below is my first tomato, 5-30-12. It is from the cherry tomato. Next year I will start my tomotoes earlier in the greenhouse. I think that it may be most useful to start the plants in the greenhouse but then move them out to the beds once the soil warms.
