<\/p>\nThe green houses are HOT! \u00a040 degrees + Celsius when nearing mid-day. And, Yes, Uncle Mark, we added shade cloth and have planted several passion fruit vines (Brazil natives which really do love all that heat and humidity) to grow up and expand across the ceiling to act as living shade.<\/p>\n
It is easier to work in the green house in the winter when it is cooler than sweat the day away in the summer. We have one working greenhouse where the seeds are planted and set on shelves and watered diligently.\u00a0 Then the\u00a0sprouted plants in\u00a0boxes are moved outside to harden off and then the plants go into the garden bed.\u00a0 Some plants are outside in a garden plot in a few weeks, others take several months.<\/p>\n
The next two green houses have plants in the ground.\u00a0 We have a drip line watering system and the rows are covered with mulch.\u00a0 The mulch keeps the weeds down and keeps the soil from drying out quickly.<\/p>\n
This past winter was a bit of a disaster garden which so we pretty much ignored the green houses all winter and had to prep the soil after pulling weeds this spring. To our surprise \u00a0we found a few plants that thrived on the neglect.<\/p>\n
Bell peppers all year round. After summer in the markets, pickled peppers are the only kind one can purchase.\u00a0 They show up cold on pizza too!<\/p>\n

Megan left a volunteer tomato plant to grow in the green house and we had cherry tomatoes before any fresh tomatoes were in the market and and long before any of our plants outside even had fruit. \u00a0A little thing but it really lengthened the tomato season for us.<\/p>\n

The last survivor of neglect was the Bulgarian Carrot Peppers – which are hot peppers. Excellent for hot salsa; way too spicy for me, but Jon loves it.<\/p>\n
