Our Greenhouse is busting at the seems!

As most of you all know, Kelsi and I have been growing like crazy in our new greenhouse this spring. We have grown so much that we are actually having a plant sale tomorrow at our house. I just wanted to share some pictures since we are very proud of all that we have done.

The tape measure is hidden in the back but this tomato plant is nearly 16in tall!

We have 21 tomato plants for sale

These are the pepper plants. We hoped for better growth but they are doing pretty well.

Beans and squash plants

Smaller squash plants, cucumbers, and melons

We had some dead space under the shelves so we put a few raised beds in the greenhouse under them.

This is the tomato bed. We planted it earlier this week, three weeks earlier than normal in this area.

This is an experiment bed. We planted a couple melons in it just to see how well they grow under cover.

The view from the door. Shows the new beds and all the plants.

These are the pepper plants we are also growing inside the greenhouse. We planted 5 total inside

Apple blossoms sure are beautiful!

The apple tree is filling out nicely!

The greenhouse is finished!

So this is a bit of old news here, but we finished framing the greenhouse, framed in some vents, built a door, and covered the whole thing with soft plastic. We did this is all about two or three weeks ago, but we have been kinda slacking on the updates.

This is what it looks like on the inside. We used 1/4 in hardware cloth as a shelving topper and it is working really well. On the right you can see our gebera daisy plants for the wedding center pieces. Also on the right are some tomatoe plants that we recently transplanted into larger pots

Here are the tomatoes. They are getting so big. They look much shorter than they are because we buried the plant rather deeply when we transplanted to make long deep roots.

Some melon and squash starts at different stages of growth.

Looks pretty good set amongst the green field grass.

Some starter trays enjoying the warmth of the greenhouse

Not greenhouse related but this is how Mere looks at two months old. She is so small still. She also has a mohawk. Very cute one at that.

Duck, duck, goose

This is one of the gates that goes into the meater's yard, it had this slope down to it that we weren't using and looked rather unsightly. So we had the great idea to a pond form there, we found it for free on Craigslist. It works pretty well so far and fills that void very well.

This is the angle of the land and you can see why it fits so well for us.

That's it. Thanks for reading!
