Greenhouses going

I've brought a lot in still have more to bring in tho (crazy huh?) but both greenhouses are pretty close to full which likely means ill have to buy one soon for myself 

So on to the pics? 




There's the top shelf of the larger greenhouse I've got rose mints basil tiny Tom tomatoes and something I don't know in there (waiting on an I'd) 



And the bottom shelf --a bit of everything it seems that I'm growing 


Can easily see mints and stevia in there 


Can see sage mints and Egyptian walking onions (those spikes) 


Greenhouse in full containment mode --that white thing is sevin because there all edibles I can't spray them too easily and I did find one fruit fly like thing which is why that sevin is there catch/kill them 


Some terenzo tomato seedlings --the one in my moms salsa garden died but not before some seeds from one of its fruit germinated! (Well actually the plant did die first but I still have the seedlings) 


There's the little greenhouse 


There's the top shelf --sage goji bay the tomato seedlings a bunch lol 


2nd shelf stevia more bay rosemary my last orchid (lucky star) the dragon fruit 


3rd shelf aka dragon fruit seedlings acai seeds (that I hope sprout soon!) some drying seeds and some sevin "just incase" lol 


All put together --I use the ford water bottle that I got from eaa 2 years ago as a watering can type thing and as there's fert in there now (and its dented) ill never use it as a waterbottle again but it's still in pretty good shape i think so why should it have to suffer? 

As typical feel free to reply/ask any questions or that

Greenhouse updates

Can't believe I didn't hit post lol so let's just get pics now and ill add info later (assuming I remember to!) 


Some cuttings I took a couple days ago in flutes (anyone have extra and can work something for shipping let me know I want more like these!) 


The top where I think they should be 


And one extra too tall citronella plant (cutting-whatever lol) 

And new pics: 


All the shorter ones moved up top to get more light taller still on the bottom 


Hey it's got friends! Tiny Tom tomatoes and basil (straight from outside so full quarantine mode if you note it looks fully contained if issues ill grab the sevin) 


Yay! A tomato seedling and more of them coming up! There proubly from the cherry in moms salsa garden so (of course) I'm gonna get its name and saving as many of them as I can before winter lol may even give out a few at work lol (possibly even some customers? Don't yet know would only be the ones I see like daily lol) def know to keep watch of them too lol 

Well it's 8 time for me to get sleep --any questions/requests or that feel free to email me sakura0garden@gmail.com

Late late late update!

Well I'm trying to get/be ready for a festival coming up that's gonna hit us hard and I guess the carnies are already coming in so I won't be around my garden much for about a week then trip to Indiana coming up 

So with that said these pics are a few days old and from *before* I watered (normally there after) so some may not look as good and after I watered I pulled a couple tomatoes and a pepperichini to eat later as well as a bunch of goji fruit (that I think I'll try saving seeds from) 

So on to the pics? 



Most of the tomatoes and peppers 



The table (and some fert!) 


Raspberry --looks like we may get more fruit from it! 


Cumin basil Corsican mint and my weaker looking goji (they aren't even in real dirt just junk from the gutter that weeds were growing in!) 


The salsa garden


My window box --I don't know how we'll the zucchini are/arent doing its another "experiment" I may try to save seeds from one to grow in there next year if they do decently we will see certainly lol also those tomatillos are going CRAZY! I can't wait to start harvesting them! 


My outher herb pot along with mints behind I will let them flower so I can save some seeds from them maby grow some this winter or next year when they may be better with the pot? 


And another view from outside my little "jungle" those tomatillos are really going *wild* wow! May try to use them as support with tomatoes in one pot next year! 

Well everyone enjoy and have fun --remember contact me at sakura0garden@gmail.com or here with any questions or maby even to request some seeds once I think there "ready"

Both greenhouses are set!

Yay! I finally got both greenhouses setup! 


And I have the finest beach sand Jen could find as well as some expand-n-grow soil for winter gardening 


This ones a couple years old and all metal I couldn't figure how to goof it like I did the outher so I'm leaving it alone in that respect 


And the outher one with 2 orchids a dragon fruit and some dragonftuit seedlings and possibly some acai seeds (that I hope can/will germinate soon) also if you look closely you'll see the top level is wire that's my "goof" so I could have the space in the bottom too 

Hopefully I can start getting cuttings and such there and going and I plan on starting some seeds in there come winter too if its not bright enough ill rig something with a 100 watt cfl or 2 (I sleep in the direct area tho and they keep me up as well as daylight)

Starting to get some seeds!

So I don't have pics of the seeds I'm drying out (ATM that includes wild catnip cherry bomb pepper and I think a banana pepper) I also got to try my first goji berry from the plant I don't think is doing quite so well and I'm waiting on more to ripen but ill def be willing to share seeds with some people 

Yes I have pics I just hope there's enough lol

As for planning I think I'm gonna bring the lemon grass and walking onions along with cuttings of just about everyone inside this year and I think I'm gonna have to bring the greenhouse that's upstairs downstairs to use this year lol (the goji are just getting sheltered for winter) 

As for the rest my plans aren't too specific yet lol --so on to the pics? Lets start with the rose its getting a bit goofy no new thorns on it but it still has the ones when we got it and its getting some tiny ones *just* under the flower head (I think ill try to re-grow seeds from it too) 






This ones this morning outhers last night and next is just a bit ago (rest of pics this morning) 


Yes she loves to smell! 


My little jungle from the outside as you can see overall it's a pretty small area especially considering how many plants I squish in there from year-year I may get a couple new pots but were pretty much at limits with all the shade from the ash garage and outher trees 


Moms salsa garden and some of my window box 


Window box tomatillos going crazy zucchini goji and tomatoes and basil (that I think may come in I have yet to decide) 


Another pic of the goji planter with the tomatoes and basil (again unsure what to do with them) 


And another lol 


Back of salsa garden --and you can see the herbs and mints somewhat 


Back of window box but again can kinda see some of everything here (not that big an area I think) 


My zucchini plant (first time growing one in a container) I'm having a hard time waiting till they get big enough because I want my relish! That's the *only* reason I'm growing them this year 


Mints and herbs --side note gonna try to bring the bay in likely and don't yet know what ill do with the pot next year 


There's another pic of them too lol 



Tomatoes and peppers --if you look close you can see some of them ripening! (There's a red cherry bomb out there) 


And I think it's time for this thing now lol 


There's that goji if you look closely you can see some fruit starting to ripen 


Yes there are a couple fresh cuttings in there too (the wilted) I hope they've survived today's heat well! 


Yup a few more fresh cuttings 


And my last fresh cuttings (they will have to move when I go get the sand in there) 


These guys are apt to come in as well but I think there doing pretty well as winter sewn 


And last but not least my rasberry bush
