Almost doubled 😀 , the original was 12' X 12', the addition is 12' X 8'

Steve

Great it's almost doubled the size...
Quick question off topic: my baby c.debaoensis and c.panzhi....should they be in full sun all day now that it's blistering hot?
There's still only a quarter inch of a stem coming on all of them.

And do I now water until it drains out the bottom, or continued misting/sparse watering?
Barb

Barb,
Have yet to grow either of those, so I really can't speak from experience.
Maybe as much light as possible, but keep them out of direct sun. ( they will burn/stunt as this stage)
And, as long as it is warm, regular watering is fine, ( it can be beneficial to flush the containers when watering, just let them dry out a bit between )

Steve

Ooops, have them in full sun.
Will move them into shade after a few hours of a.m. sun.

I had wanted to flush the containers but was worried I'd start mold growing if any water got into the open seed coat.

Thanks for the tips...now that I think about it, that makes perfect sense! 😀
Barb

My neighbor and I threw up this cover for his tomato plants last weekend. He grows heirloom tomatoes and really wants them to avoid any possible rain which may produce blight.
This photo shows it mainly in place. More bracing was added later to make the structure more ridgid.

Cheers, Barrie.

Barrie,
Looks like a nice clean build, are those brackets easy to work with?

Barb,
Still need to work in a 125 gallon pond, not quite done with the construction, and of course, I'm slowly filling it up already 😀

Here's a couple photos,

Steve

It must be so much fun adding plants to the GH.
You've certainly got a ton of seedlings ready to go in there.
I'd be working by flashlight through the night 😀

Are you digging out an area for the pond? or adding a preformed resin "pool"?
Barb

Looks great. How long has this taken you?

I wish I had room for a greenhouse. But no such luck.

Barb, I have a c. Panzi in direct sun all day. It has had one flush of one leaf and a small one too. Mine was planted out during last winter. Survived no problem but it is not producing a lot of new leafs.

Good to know, Wes, thanks.

Wes,
Started this the second week of June, 2 - 3 hours a day on average.
( Taking my time, just need to be done before the snow flies 😀

Barb,
I decided to use a liner for the pond, ( if I can call it that now? more like a deep wading pool )
All I need to do now is dig out this square about 3' - 4' deep 😀

Steve

That's a lot of digging, Steve.
Considering how long you've planned the GH addition, bet you're enjoying every moment.

Look forward to pics of everything in there!
Barb

Have fun digging the hole, Steve. I recently dug a really deep hole myself for some bananas. So your not alone. 😆 😆 😆

Dean

If I was 20 years younger, it would be done by now 😀

Steve

Decided to rethink digging the hole for a number of reasons 😀
(Started hitting large roots about 12" down)

This is what I came up with, the ground has been raised 4" around it, the deepest portion is 22"

The above ground portion is anchored by 3' rebar stakes.

30# felt paper as an underlayment.

Here we are all together.

Barb,
I need a better photo, but these fish are getting large!

Steve

Looks good, Steve, hope the wood last.
