Green House, partly finished
 

Inside's not finished but I had to move plants out of the house.

Woo, hoo! It looks great! Will you be growing your tomatoes in the greenhouse throughout the season, or is this to give them a good start?

Morn' Earl,
I was half expecting the '[b]good ship greenhouse'[/b] to be floating by because of all the rain you guys have had.:lol:
I now understand your design plans for the shelving unit....something I must try to build next year.
There is nothing like spending time in the greenhouse with ones tomato plants- the combination of heat, humidity and the smell of tomato is something to be savoured.

Looking forward to more pics,

Jeff

Sherry. I'm not sure yet, but will most surely grow some early type tomatoes in GH as well as early start for all the veggies/flowers that Kathy and I grow. I love cukes so I'm going to start a few Spacemaster seeds, but packet doesn't say if they're self-pollinating.

Tips from anyone tips on cukes in the GH would be appreciated.

Jeff, I need to run a 2by2 the lenght of the hanging shelf as by itself it's not sturdy enough. But I like the idea of being able to push it up and out of the way when working in the raised-bed.

Nice setup! I hope it's greened up well by now. I've grown cukes in the gh as well as squash, pumpkin, zukes and luffa. The bigger squahes, you can usually get a willing male to pluck the petals off and manually pollinate. For the cukes, it seemed that a q-tip worked better to deposit one or two of the larger-seeming bits of the pollen. I never was able to get a luffa going, but got to where I had pretty good results with squashes, less-so with cukes.

Whenever I could get a bee in there, she seemed more interested in escape than doing anything useful. For this year's cuke crop, I chose a couple self-pollinating varieties, we'll see how that goes.

Earl? I was just wondering if you could give us any updates on the greenhouse. Have you moved plants indoors? Started anything for the winter? How goes it?
