This is a photo of my greenhouse in 2020, this year it is too full to get inside. I started cold weather crops this year for the May early June harvest. And got my starts for summer going as well along with flowers!
The cabbages, onions, scallions, shallots and lettuce are all in the ground. I had no more room and even with 35 degree nights, they had to go in. They are doing great even with a few frosts we have had.
Next I have my cucumbers, tomatoes and melons started. They have filled the greenhouse being repotted into little red plastic solo cups. Which I re-use every year and ran out of this year. Next my herbs basil, oregano and cilantro all grown from seeds. You can grow multiple oregano from cuttings rooted from a single plant. I started several as I use a lot in my cooking. And it is a great plant to swap with.
I have had no luck with my pepper seeds this year. Going to have to figure out why, might be too cool and damp in the greenhouse. But that is ok, I will have more room for flowers. Sunflowers, gladiolas, cornflowers, dahlia and zinnia. And that is why I have no room in my greenhouse this year.
We also had the covid Moderna vaccine first dose this week. It gave me lethargy, not good when I need all my energy to plant. But after the second doe in May, we should be able to mask up and rejoin society. Been a very long time since we have done that. Grocery pick up, church on line, and delivery for the rest since 2020 began. Two Easters at home and many funeral that we could not attend. Luckily we both work from home and have a farm. It was a lot of work with lock downs, no shopping, no people. Hoping thing get better this summer for everyone.
