Mini Green House (1)

This is the BIG ~ Mini project we had been putting off due to weather and just pure plain busyness. In our exuberance and excitement over 70 degree weather we transplanted some seedlings too early and didn't heed the cool evening/morning temps nor our strict watering regimen. MY BAD!! **blush ~ blush** I thought it would work out better for me and my two cohorts (hubby and daughter) if we devised a system that could take full advantage of the not so unusual bipolar Minnesota warm then freezing weather without killing all our precious transplants in the process. So since we have ample garden and yard space we took on the task of a greenhouse. I always hear rave revues about this system and truthfully it has been working on a micro level wth the milk jugs so I figured why not? Take a look at the pictures and see for yourself the end result. DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN COMING SOON.

So I made a trip to mother earth garden center to get the grow pellets for the tomatoes and they already had tomato plants thriving on their in-door display shelf/nursery. I was going to wait until next week to start but became so encouraged by what I witnessed I had to start right away. We will be starting some tomatoes in the pellets and some in the organic potting mix tonight. As with the other plants we grow we will keep you well informed of our status. The types we are starting today are: Black Krim (heirloom) Old German (heirloom) Speckled Roma (heirloom paste) Beefsteak (heirloom sandwich tomato) Chocolate Cherry Large Red Cherry Ground Cherry (physallis or husk tomato for jams and jellies)
