That should keep you busy for a while. I'm kind of thinking about an indoor veggie garden myself, but I'll have a greenhouse one of these days.

 

[GP73LPC]

you should do a little indoor veggie garden.

nothing quite like some fresh home grown

[GP73LPC]

kinda like growing your own weed. opens up an entire new appreciation for home grown

Hey GP...Stumbled across your greenhouse thread and ended up readin the whole thing. Impressive as hell man! I'm in the middle of greenhouse plans for the upcoming season myself, whether I like it or not.

Which is to say, in my neck of the woods, the county boys are going to be enforcing a maximum cultivation square footage ordinance they passed last month so it looks like it's time to take my outdoor ventures inside=greenhouse.
Your thread reminds me that greenhouses are not only for "that other stuff" but homegrown veggies as well...So, there is that. Thanks for the reminder...CC

GP,
what kind of lights is in your greenhouse? or do you need any lights?

 

[GP73LPC]

no lights, just sunlight

 

[flyer]

no lights, just sunlight

wont the yield be less if the lumen of light is less from the plastic?

 

[GP73LPC]

i don't think the plastic is a problem. the sun is hard to beat, even through plastic...

did a little more prep work today...

lined the outside of the greenhouse with dirt, air proofing it a little better....

i also started to make some raised beds

and lastly, the broccoli still kicking after the main head was harvested...

 

[GP73LPC]

some more prep work done today...

shovel by shovel using this trailer is how i am filling the raised beds... good fertile soil of the edges of the creek...

today i bought cabbage seedlings, brussel sprout seedlings, cauliflower seedling, strawberry seedlings and romaine seedlings... onion sets and potatoes. as for seeds, i got bush beans, snap peas, carrots, cucumbers, spinach and squash..., to go with the tomato clones (producing tomato's), dwc tomato's, broccoli seedlings, pepper plants and basil under the LED array... most will go outside in the next 1-2 months...

also planted some azoychka tomato's, early girl tomato's and sweet 100 cherry tomato's today...


i also loaded two trailers of dirt into one raised bed. i estimate i need another 5 or 6 for that side, then 8 more loads for the opposite side. hard work, but it's good for me...
