Last night as I was watering in the greenhouse I noticed something rather peculiar.
The tomatoes are almost through the roof. Holy Crack! Because I am a newbie greenhouse gardener, this is something I never anticipated. Now what? Do I just cut the top off the tomato plant to prevent more growth? Do I remove the glass panels at the top so the tomatoes can grow even higher? What do I do? Help!
Have I told you about Mrs Hillbilly’s Mom? Back in the spring, she sent me some pepper {and tomato, okra, and tomatillo}, seeds from Mississippi. There were so many seeds I couldn’t plant them all. But, check out the long green pepper on the left. I’m not sure what it is, but it has Mrs. Hillbilly’s name on it.
I’m also growing eggplant this year. I am not a hug fan of eggplant, but the HH likes it. And what he can’t eat, I give to the lady up the street from us.
And check out the gutters filled with basil and vining cucumbers. I have a feeling I’ll be making a batch or two of basil this weekend.
One thing is for sure, I am running out of room to walk around in the greenhouse. I’m beginning to think I may have planted a few to many plants in there. Yikes! This is only the beginning of the summer growing season too.
I guess this means I won’t be using the greenhouse as a sauna this summer.
Peace Out Girl Scouts, I’ve gotta run. There’s word of doublers this weekend, plus we have a big project in the works. I need to head outside and get it started.
Have a great weekend,

If you are looking for a greenhouse but don’t want to spend a ton of dough on one, I highly recommend the 5 foot Pop Up Flower House. Before we had our greenhouse installed I used a smaller version of this and loved it. Plus, the reviews are great and you could even grow lettuce in the winter with this baby!
