The first tomato harvest!

The first ripe tomato!

Pepper!

Move the potatoes outside, so the tomatoes got spread out better.

Blueberries galore!

Sunflowers are starting to get a little size to them.

Biggest tomato outside.

Trellace setup for the tomatoes outside.

Pretty sure this tomato has nearly doubled in size in the last week.

Flowers on one of the pepper plants.

Tomatoes and peppers

The potatoes have grown so much that they are almost already topped up on soil!

Sunflowers

Potatoes are enjoying the greenhouse temps.

Biggest tomato in the greenhouse. At least double the size of the one outside.

String lines for eah tomato plant

Got String lines setup on the tomatoes inside the greenhouse to manage their growth. Also pruned them like crazy.

Purple tomatillo flowering like crazy

Look at these blueberries!

Crazy watering to get the drip system working. Also planted greens in this bed.

Tomatoes inside the greenhouse are doing amazing.

Squash coming up

Blueberries planted and looknig amazing.

Potato starting to sprout!

Squash planted. Two rows about a foot apart. We will see what sprouts, will probably half that if they all pop up.

Squash we are planting this year.

Raised bed for the blueberries. Still needs a lot more soil and work, but its getting there.

So many blueberries

All of the raised beds are finished now!

Fans mounted and atached to the light switches.

A lot of seeds are starting to sprout!

Squash bed full of soil.

All of the seeds that have been started so far.

Going to be using the containers from last year for lettuces and herbs. The lower shelf gets a ton of sun, which surprises me.

Elecric all installed.

The first seeds started to sprout!

Squash territory! This big huge bed is going to be used for various types of squash.

Potatoes are planted! Starting them in the greenhouse because I can. Once the mornings are a little warmer I will move them outside. Its still getting down near freezing.

Water for sprinklers and frost proof spigot.

I've currently got two heating pads under this and the front one isnt plugged in. I think just one will provide enough heat for starting seeds.

A better view of the nursery pots.

Power is being installed with light switches and all. The yellow line on the bottom is for propane for a heater.

For this season inside the greenhouse I am using 7 gallon black nursery pots on one side and the containers from last year on the other.

The raised beds on the side are finished and filled with soil!

Finally able to plant some seeds! Tomatoes, eggplant, pepper, and some flowers all started.

First look at inside the greenhouse with the structure in place.

This whole back area will be a long raised bed.

With the beds in place its really starting to look good.

Each bed is filled with several inches of gavel to promote drainage as well as if there is a flood it would ruin our soil.

Raised beds have been started!

Pavers that I used last year are being used properly this year. We couldn't get sand last year, this year its going to be a month or longer to get more of them.

This area is really starting to look different!

The greenhouse has arrived! Notice that the automatic vents are already working on the first day.

Gravel added and compacted. We want amazing drainage, so quite a few inches of gravel has been added.

A big muddy mess to get ready for the garden!

The outside raised beds are all going to be the correct size to fit one of these for starting seeds.

Seeds ready for the greenhouse!

The original plan for the greenhouse and raised beds

The very first concept for the greenhouse.
