After a coffa-cuppee in the green house, the soil temperature is 80 degrees!!!
Air temp was 60, so not too bad at all!!
I still have to frame in & cut a hole for the vent window, and run rubber around both doors.
This green house is 14 feet by 14 feet....LOVE IT!!
I was considering running it another 5 feet....
Still might, and that would encompass yet another 12 x2 1/2 foot box.
All the long boxes are in a row, the green house is screwed to the boxes.
I left 2 boxes outside, for salad greens, which have grown fine since January under row covers.
Salad greens LOVE this cool weather.
Most varieties will not even germinate in warm weather.
So we, and the chickens, have had great fresh greens, mesclun mix & arugula since February, and then in April I planted a succesive bed of greens, flashy trout back, black seeded simpson, and red leaf varieties.
Next successfive planting is some fancy red romaines bibbs.
Note: Flasy trout back survived in my exposed bed, even during our snow last winter, in a tilled bed, some roots remained, and up it grew covered with snow, here on the coast anyways.
Seems flashy trout back LOVES COLD weather more than most.
Took our final hunk of Coho out of the freezer, nicely ice glazed a few weeks ago, and have the cedar plank soaking in water so we are grilling it plank-style covered in garlic butter & fresh dill.
The Dill bed is doing fantatsic outside, uncovered as well.
Except for an occasional slug, the hundreds of dill are up about 5".........I planted them from bulk dill seed from the health food store, (cheaper than buying in a seed packet)
about 3 weeks ago.
Gotta have dill when you fish as much as we do!
OK, off to work again!!
I will come back with the photos.
I keep saying that, huh ?
