Well, things have been hectic for the past couple of months. I had to move the eggplants out of the greenhouse and into the front yard. I lost two of the four, but the two that made it have done well. The photos in the carousel show all the plants in the greenhouse. They seem…

The past months (June and July) have been the worst for pests thus far. The caterpillars and squash bugs have been nasty! They have killed three plants thus far: two cucumber plants and a bell pepper plant. This morning, I found a huge caterpillar on one of the okra plants. The okra was safe, so…

The plants have come along way! Check out the images below. Right now it’s rainy season so there is more than enough water for them to produce even more fruits as the weather has now cooled down. There are a few bell pepper plants that are having a problem with calcium. I have had to…

With the weather cooling down due to rain moving into the country, every plant seems to be leaping with growth. The cucumber plant looks good. The eggplant, turmeric, and peppers are looking good as well. I am looking forward to all the other plants growing healthy as well.

Well, we’ve got quite a few plants going now.We’ve got eggplant, bell pepper, cayenne, and jalapeno. We already had the cucumber, okra, and pineapple. I harvested all three pineapples on June 14th. One of them I left on the plant too long and began to spoil, but the others were fine, as shown below. Also,…

I will admit that I did not know what this plant was when I moved it onto the grow rail. But it’s CUCUMBERS! They both seem to be doing quite well. There are three fruits on the vine already.

Well, it’s been a while since the last post. I have a few new plants coming online: cucumbers, guava, bell peppers, jalapenos, eggplants, banana peppers, and beans. These are a couple of shots of the aforementioned. Not all are represented here because I haven’t put all the seedlings on the rails yet.

I recently began cultivating okra plants in my greenhouse, and I’m thrilled to report that they are flourishing beautifully. So far, I’ve successfully harvested around 40 okra pods. Just this morning, I gathered another four, and several more are nearing maturity and should be ready to pick in the next couple of days. There’s something…

I should have posted a long time ago! I haven’t posted because my computer died, and I had to wait for the parts to rebuild a new one. I am still waiting on the parts. I am making this post on a computer limping on 8 GB of RAM. Here are some shots from the…

Well my peppers are really starting to take off. So much so that I think I may have missed judged my system design. That misjudgment being nutrient tank size and location. I have drawn up a few different plans for the current situation and I am actively constructing them. I’m trying to build in growth…
