[pop22]

Yup..

I can thoroughly recommend sand bags pop..we have the frame secured with big fence posts and bolts..but the cover still tried to make a getaway...
ripped a few of the Velcro ties..so hubby got some builders sand..and it has stayed down since...:tiphat:

my neighbors wouuld shit if I achored it with sand bags...lol! But I'm gathering rocks to use. Going to paint them green........ :howdy:

Blue Tomatoes and an Orphan...

Got to transplanting some of my blue tomatoes today while working in the greenhouse. For the tomatoes, i'm using recycled organic soil, amended with NG Soil builder and a little lime. I got 4 transplanted and will get more done tomorrow. Tomatoes and peppers are my screening plants that will line the side and end of the greenhouse.

I decided no to put out my canna seedlings as its suppose to be pretty cold the next couple nights. Tomato seeds are MUCH cheaper........and I can grow more! However........................................................

.....................................................

I stored my soil from last year in several totes. I used the totes as sand bags temporarily till I get my stones to weigh down the flaps of the tent. I was digging soil out of them for my tomatoes, when, what did I see??? a little seedling sticking up out of the bin.............and YEP! It was a canna seedling! Amazing really, the weather has been shit and that soil was frozen solid 10 days ago!

I've come to the conclusion, these plants tolerate cold weather much better than people think they do. Last fall, I found 2 seedling sprouting in a recycled soil bin. The day I found them it was 29F ( 1.6 C ) outside! I'm leaving Orphan on the greenhouse and going to put 2 of my Durrty Cheese seedlings out and see what happens.. I've got lots of Durrty Cheese seeds so........of they do well, all my seedlings will go out, and DAMN...O hope they can 'cause its getting REALLY crowded in the house................ :dance2:

Well I though sure I'd find dead plants in the greenhouse this morning, as the temp dipped to 30F last night. Hell I didn't even want to go look. Well, I was in for a surprise! My Blue tomatoes REALLY didn't like being transplanted, wspecially into cols soil. Within minutes they looked half wilted. This moring.........................................Every plants was standing tall and happy!! So I'm going to chance it and put more plants out!

Also, another reason they need to go out...............Damn Stoner Dog!!!!.............................he ate 3 of my Durrty Cheese seedlings....lol!
