We built a greenhouse!

Holy moly, I am amazed by the growth and now I wonder why we didn’t do this long ago!!
When most people are just planting their gardens now, I’ve already been enjoying the kale and lettuces! And my tomatoes!!! Man oh man, they’re going to be monstrous when they start producing. Yummmm

We also have 8 other (4’ x10’) garden beds for our potatoes, carrots, beats, peas etc but I wanted to try growing these as hothouse plants.
In the greenhouse you’ll find peppers, jalapeños, onions, radish, green and yellow beans, kale, arugula, lettuces, cukes, zucchini and a few varieties of tomatoes.
I can’t wait for harvest.

Whenever I see a green house I think to myself there's a secret marijuana grow.
ImpeccablyImperfect · 51-55, F
@FloorGenAdm hahaha I can’t say I didn’t think of that 😉

What did you use for the sheeting ?
Did you follow plans or create your own ?
Do they stay up during winter ?
pdockal · 56-60, M
@ImpeccablyImperfect

You'll probably need heat and some sort of insulation for the winter and maybe a light source as winter days get short

Did you purchase everything @ home depot (or similar)
ImpeccablyImperfect · 51-55, F
@pdockal oh yes, we will definitely need those! We’ve been researching a lot about the whole process. We’re excited for the experience! No we bought the greenhouse as a kit, from kijiji…it was a good deal :)

@ImpeccablyImperfect

Ahhhh gotchya.
Good luck with them!

Impressive.

For the sake of your health, I hope you didn't use PT (pressure treated) wood: can leach some really poisonous / toxic chemicals into the soil while will get taken up by the plants.
ImpeccablyImperfect · 51-55, F
@thisguy20 noooo, it’s regular SPF lumber….and we lined them with garden bed lining to help prevent wood rot. :)
(*edit to add: to [i]HELP[/i] prevent rot haha)

I am even struggling with the weeds on the ground, as I won’t spray them either. I just pull them every week or so haha
reflectingmonkey · 51-55, M
wow, beautiful work, thank you for the picture. now I regret not planting anything this year. I have 2 gigantic balconies that i hardly ever use 😔
Midlifemale · 61-69, M
That sounds and looks fantastic ! I may try and build one. Fresh vegetables are the the best ever

Awesome, i wish i had enough room for my own greenhouse
ImpeccablyImperfect · 51-55, F
@Tminus6453 it has definitely been a fun little adventure…we are going to try some winter gardening too! 😮 We will see how that goes :)
Cool! I like it.

My plants are in one gallon containers (*veggie newbie here*) 😬

That looks great! You’ll be very happy with all the tasty results, I predict.
Lostpoet · M
Tomatoes, Cucumbers, and Zucchini are some of my favorite things to grow in a garden.
Barny52 · 56-60, M
A good setup you have
ImpeccablyImperfect · 51-55, F
@Barny52 thanks! I’m hoping to train the cukes up and over the netting above, so they will just hang down and I can go ‘pluck’ them off haha
It’s a learning experience for sure
Barny52 · 56-60, M
@ImpeccablyImperfect i just run string into roof space and across they soon find their way, I only grow 2 or they shade the toms
ImpeccablyImperfect · 51-55, F
@Barny52 that’s what I’m hoping will happen! Awesome. I’m glad to hear that it does work 😉
