Greenhouse, Spring planting
Hi, Kennyart here. I have a little project I'm working on for this spring.
I have a greenhouse that I purchased last year. And I tried growing some tomato's and some, brussel sprouts.
And some other things, peas in there and it was simi successful last year.
Except that earlier this january we had wind storms and it blew my greenhouse over and destoryed the supports.
Bent some stuff and everything, so I tried putting it back togather here.
This spring, using some different supports, I put four metal fence posts into the ground,
and tied some 2x2 wooden posts to those and then put the greenhouse over the top of that.
The actual greenhouse itself, the plastic part, wasn't damaged, just the support stuff.
So, here's my new greenhouse.
Empty pots ready for soil and plants
It's sorta the duck tape and bailling wire method.
Bought some peas yesterday, I'm going to plant these.
I've got a bunch of pots in here, I've got some soil I'm going to put in these.
I'm going to plant some tomato seeds. Here are some hanging pots left over from last year.
I had some wild flowers growing in them. There are still a few flowers left, I'm not quite sure what I am going to do with them.
Probably put the flowers in the yard somewhere, and reuse the pots.
So that is the project I'm going to work on today. Fill up these pots with some dirt and plant some seeds.
I see the rain last night made a lake up here on the roof!
May have to fix that.
Water on the other end of the thing here too!
I'm going to have to put a ridge pole on this. Shouldn' be hard to do.
The zippers on the door on this thing never were of very good quality.
They always split open. So, this year, on one side I tied it with some string.
Sowed it togather there.
Moving dirt!
Well, I had two bags of soil, but that wasn't quite enough. I'm going to have to get another bag of soil, I quess.
Because I've got soil in all the pots except for one, which is only half full.
Plus, I want to refill the soil in these hanging pots. I'm going to take the plants that are in here now and put them in the yard.
I think I'm going to transplant these peas that I bought yesterday.
Into these big pots here.
They are all tangled together!
Get those peas in the pot!
Ok, so I have added some climbing strings for the peas.
So they should be able to climb up the strings which are attached to the roof beams.
And then I also added a ridge pole so the water will not puddle on the top like it did earlier.
I have some tomato seeds here. I am going to try planting some of the pots.
And I have some zuccini seeds. I'm going to try some of these too.
And I have a sprinkler that I bought. Just an inexpensive one, like about 2 and half bucks'
I'm acually going to attach it up here to the ceilling.
And put a timer on the water hose so it turns on periodicly to water in here.
I'm hoping that will work out ok.
I have a water hose out here ready to go.
Ok, this isn't going to be scientific or anything, but going to tape this up here.
"Stop it!"
What are you barking at?
Duct tape and it's many ways to use!
It's not pretty, but it should work.
Says on here, supposed to plant these tomato seeds 1/4 inch deep.
Two seeds per pot, but I'm going to plant more than that, I'm not sure how these are going to work.
Start seeds indoors, six to eight weeks before planting outdoors.
These really should have been started already, but what the heck!
Wow, if I can get them out of the package.
There aren't very many seeds in here. It looks like there is about a dozen!
Well, that's expensive! $2 for a dozen tomato seeds. We will see how it works.
Ok, they are planted. There is about four to a pot. If this doesn't work out I can always get tomato starts later on, and use them.
Try a few of these Zuccini seeds. Hope there are more in here than a dozen.
Says on here, sow directly three weeks after spring frost.
We don't have to worry to much about frost in the greenhouse.
Plant in mounds five feet apart, three to eight seeds
Well, they are not going to be in mounds, they are going to be in pots.
The thing about zuccini's sometimes if they grow really well, you end up with way more than you can eat.
That's ok!
Have a temporary nuzzle on my hose here. Add some water.
Oregon rain forest
Alright!
I'm going to go into town and get some more supplies.
Ok, I'm back from town. I bought some more potting mix, some miricle grow this time.
And I also bought some flowers to put in some hanging baskets I have here.
Got some alyssum, petunia, Dianthus and some lobelia.
So, I'm going to plant, the four hanging baskets here, going to plant these flowers in them.
And put them in the greenhouse and when they get going really good,
Take them out and put on the house around the eaves.
They well look pretty in the summer time.
Ok, there's my four hanging baskets, going to put those in the greenhouse so they have a chance to
get going really well before hanging on the house.
A few left over to put in my rock garden.
This is my rock garden. My sister suggested I do this, there is a stump underneath there.
So I piled a bunch of bark mulch around it and put rocks around it, planted bulbs last fall.
And this is what it looks like. It's doing great!
Alright, got the hanging baskets in the greenhouse, giving them some water.
When I was coming back in from town going across the bridge over the Siuslaw river,
there was this big huge plastic pot laying in the road,
so I quickly pulled off at the end of the bridge and hurried back
up the road before somebody ran over it. I got it!
This is realy a nice pot. I will figure out something to put in this later.
But I got dirt in it ready to go.
Well I don't claim to know a whole lot about gardening, my father was really good at it.
He always had a great garden every year. But, this is what I'm doing this year.
So, if you have any suggestions to what I've done or not done, or what ever.
Let me know. Leave me a comment.
And thanks for watching! I hope you have enjoyed this little video.
