Duchess of Weaselskin

Four days ago, with a lunch hour break and an airing out for our tomato plants, it took David and NW Okie (mostly David) working together from 9:45a.m. to a little after 5:00p.m., 24 May 2012, to assembled this polycarbonate, 6x8 greenhouse that we found on ebay for half the price it was selling at a local hardware store in Southwest Colorado.

This Sunday evening we had a hard freeze here in the Southwest Rockies of Colorado. It got down to 28F. Thank goodness for our new greenhouse to give our hanging potted plants to take cover.

We have seen lots of little and big green tomatoes on my "early girls" and "4th of July" tomatoes, as well as my "sweet 100s." They are not bushy like some plants, because NW Okie has pinched off the scorched leaf damage that occurred in "old" greenhouse. But the good side of that is we have seen new foliage sprouting since moving to new greenhouse. Our new polycarbonate greenhouse has a UV protection and two vented windows on the roof to keep it from getting too hot inside.

Good Night & Good Luck!   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
