Take a gander at the greenhouse...

 It has been quite a while since I  posted a greenhouse update.  I have to show my new addition to the back.  These outside beds will be used for the peas, beans, cucumbers, and my herbs. 

 Despite the heat, I moved the chives, asparagus, and mint soon after getting the beds filled with compost.  The asparagus is happy about the move. 

These photos were taken this weekend, just before I pulled the pumpkins.  I put the pumpkins on the porch to make it pretty.  Then I ripped out all of the vines and replanted spinach and lettuce.  Ella was sure those pumpkins were for her to play catch with.  As you can see, the pumpkin on the roof hung in there.    

I will not be planting indeterminate tomatoes in the greenhouse next year.  They grew until they hit the roof and then flopped over.  This was a photo I took in July.  I had to crawl in to water and pick tomatoes.  I am already making plans for next years planting scheme.   I am defiantly having tomatoes, as I have become addicted to putting them on pizza, in salads, and roasting them.   

 

This is a photo of the greenhouse at the beginning of August.  As you can see the pumpkins made their annual attack on the strawberry bed.  My chamomile for tea did excellent.  I've harvested it three times and think I will get a fourth next weekend.  The only thing I was disappointed in was my peppers.  I had them in pots on the bench.  I think next year I will put them in the ground.  I also need to improve my succession planting of lettuce and spinach. 

 

 

 

I didn't grow the biggest pumpkins this year, but that is probably a good thing.  They look pretty cute on the turtle.
