Mike has been a little busy with other things but I can answer - no, the house did not burn down. What he did find, though was that the heat at the top of the greenhouse was significantly higher than at the bottom, so he also had to add a fan to circulate the air. As for anything growing, he has had some success in getting seedlings started that he then took outside last summer and other things like some herbs that he has just kept growing inside, but I will leave it up to him to give the details.
Do you find this valuable?

Yes, sorry. I've been really busy with other things.. it's spring after all! :)The greenhouse is doing alright so far. I will update things shortly I hope. Last year growing seedlings worked quite well.. after transplanting outside, the garden grew very well. After the seedlings I grew some lettuce inside which we used in salads etc., it was decent (although not as tasty as that grown outside). I also found that my containers limited it's growth too much. I have been growing Basil continuously. It's pretty easy going, but does seem to die off after about 4-5 months. My current Basil plants are now 6 months or so old, after one transplant, but they aren't doing great. I haven't been able to harvest from them for about 2 months now. Interestingly enough, some of them are now going to seed, so I'll try to grow my next batch with those seeds! Right now I have my seedlings started off. Some have peeked out of the soil recently (Cherry Tomatoes, Cucumber, Kale and Thyme). I'll put photos up soon. That's all for now. Do you find this valuable? |
