A-Frame Greenhouse

Today I made a clear plastic cover for one of the galvanized fence tents I made to use as a trellis. Turns out that the 10 foot wide plastic covers the tent perfectly with only a single 90 degree cut. I am using grommets to wire tie the cover to the frame.

Sorry, I forgot to take any pictures, but I will add a drawing later.

23 Days - Plant Progress

Transplanted the rest of the tomatoes that were in peat pellets into 1 gallon jugs (it later turns out that 2 quart jugs are about the right size). This was the first night I left the plants outside overnight. They were a little wilted in the morning but recovered quickly when the sun came out. Overnight low was 45 -- a little colder than I had anticipated.

21 Days - Seedling Progress

Transplanted all 12 Ambrosia cantaloupe, 6 Better boys, and 6 of each type of watermelon into pint containers. First California Wonder bell pepper has finally sprouted. Glad I didn't toss them.

March 14 Next Seedlings Started

Started the following seeds:

Burpee's Big Boy Hybrid
NK Beefsteak
Cucumber - Sumpter

Cucumber - Cross Country
Squash - Dixie Hybrid
Squash Summer's Bounty

15 Days - Seedling Progress

All plant varieties have at least some sprouted seedlings, except for the peppers. No sign of any pepper yet.

11 Days - Seedling Progress

Now these have sprouted:

Jelly Bean Hybrid Tomato
Roma Tomato
Better Boys
Black Beauty Eggplant

9 Days - First Seedlings Emerge

The weather is starting to warm up, so I am moving my seedlings (well, seeds) outside during the day. I need to have a small heater in the kneewall next year to warm the seeds up.
