Pinging the list.
Sockmonkey had a link to a greenhouse last week that was really nice. Here’s a link to another one of their products that is close to what I’d like to have in concept:
Now imagine this a little deeper and wider to take up much more of my 13 x 24 foot patio off the basement patio door. And imagine a double wall like on the green house sockmonkey posted. Add in an automatic ventilator, and a solar or other heater. That would be the all time greatest.
Still this or the greenhouse sockmonkey was looking at would be a big improvement to the 6 x 2 ft in front of the patio door! Starting a “change” bank now. (Like an old fashioned piggy bank).
When I was a kid, my brother and I saved our change, until we could buy a horse. I being younger saved mostly pennies, so we named her Penney.
What’s the inflation adjusted price of a penney I wonder? Fifty cents? I could call it my four - bit greenhouse. LOL
I HAVE TOMATOES. I HAVE TOMATOES...
Yay, finally something coming up. One of my tomato plants is producing fruit. I went out there the other day, saw it and actually smiled for the first time in three years.
The small blueberry and blackberry bushes I planted have berries, although only a couple and the plants aren’t even knee high. Also have a few strawberries. If all goes well, I will eat my first bowl of mixed berries within a few weeks.
I did a soil test using my Mosser Lee Soil Master test kit. Did the nitrogen test since the consensus was I either have too much nitrogen in the soil or too little. The verdict? Drum roll...... Too little. Add some Jobes tomato and veggie fertilizer to the soil. See where that goes.
Artichokes died. Think it was too much water from all the rain we had. Everything else looks great from a plant perspective. The jury is still out on whether I get veggies.
Oh, it is raining in San Antonio and has been cool.
Have a great weekend.
