Some help with a greenhouse

2007-07-26T11:16:00.000-07:00

What are you growing?

In the outdoors garden bed: Carrots, Beans, Lettuce, Nasturtiums, Broccoli, Cauliflower
In the greenhouse: Broccoli, Green Beans, Basil, Cilantro, Pumpkins, Beets, and Corn

What have you been doing to maintain the garden?

Some watering and weeding, but we've mostly left it alone. We added some miracle grow from a hose attachment to the plants in the greenhouse. We also added some compost to the outdoor garden and it really seemed to take off after that.

What are you enjoying the most about gardening?

Coming down to the greenhouse with the kids. They're really excited about the pumpkins. The pumpkins have really taken over, climbing up the walls and all over the place.

What challenges have you encountered?

Just making time for it. With work, it gets too busy to spend time on it.

What or who has been the biggest help in your gardening success?

We've just been winging it.

Quite the green thumbs!
