Things are really starting to heat up in the greenhouse. Yesterday it reached 76 degrees inside. Wowza! I need to buy a few lawn chairs and then I’ll be able to rent it out as a sauna.
I think the Butter Crunch lettuce only has about a week left until it’s time to pick, and the Romaine lettuce is not far behind. I’ve never been so excited about lettuce before in my life. This whole growing food in a greenhouse experiment is really exciting.
The radishes are starting to bulk up and are starting to poke above the soil. Not much longer on those either.
The spinach is also taking off. I’m not sure how long it will be before it is ready to pick, but the Handsome Husband keeps wandering in to my greenhouse and eyeballing it. I think he wants it for his spinach smoothies {ewww}. Note to self: purchase an alarm system for the greenhouse.
The flats of flowers, lettuce, broccoli raab and onions are doing well. I have a few more flats under lights in the house and I think I’ll try to bring them out to the greenhouse this week. Once I do that, it will be time to start my cucumbers, and zucchini plants under the grow lights inside. Holy cow… It’s time to get this show on the road people.
Oh, and get a look at these strawberry plants. Wahoo, they are really starting to leaf out. I love it! I can’t wait for all the chocolate dipped strawberries we will be FORCED to make here in a few months. Such torture.
How’s it growing in your backyard? Any seeds seedlings popping up yet?
