Just some pics of the day.
Our little fig cutting from last spring is growing figs already in the greenhouse. There are a lot of new shoots coming up, so I am hoping we'll get more, and a second crop in the Fall. The fig now looks like a tree, but we plan to grow it as a bush as it new shoots come up to keep it manageable in the greenhouse. In the past, we didn't get spring figs from the mother tree, and the fall figs usually got hit by frost before they ripened. Unlike most other fruits, figs stop ripening when they are picked.
Our first greenhouse cucumber!
Blue Lake Bush Bean blooms ready to open. Beans will start to form soon.
I'm hoping this cabbage and broccoli can go another 10-15 days in these pots before going outside, but I have my doubts. I may need to up pot these, too.
First Tiny Tim blooms.
Our 6 little Tiny Tim's waiting to be up potted.
Up potting the Tiny Tim's with my special mix.
@1/4 50-50 rich topsoil with mushroom compost
@1/4 ProMix BX with Mycorrhizae, their "brand" of mycorrhizae - fungi that have a symbiotic relationship with the roots of many plants
@1/4 Peat Moss
@ 1/4 Vermiculite
*@ 4 Tbsps of worm castings on top which will get repeated every few weeks.
*If I'm up potting flowers, I use the same mix, but instead of using worm castings, I use Osmocote Time Released fertilizer.
At this time of Spring, my workshop becomes my potting shed.
The Tiny Tim's are now up potted.
I am taking a picture from the front of the greenhouse every few days. I am going to put together a collage video at the end of the summer/fall showing how the greenhouse changes from early Spring until Fall.
I walked by this small lilac today not noticing the flowers were opening, until I caught the scent.
