Greenhouse tour as we get everything ready for winter!
The new covers are officially on, thanks to some reused greenhouse covers from a large nursery here in town. I love being able to give things like this a second life.
We’ve planted out LOTS of winter greens, plus—just for fun—a few cool-season veggies like cabbage and broccoli. Because really… what’s the worst that happens? They don’t grow? 😂
Gardening is always an adventure around here. I love experimenting, pushing the seasons a little, and simply seeing what happens.
And I have some BIG experiments planned for next year!
The olive trees will be planted directly into the ground with mini greenhouse covers over them in the section of garden that is dry ground and year round sun.
In the tomato greenhouse, I’m planning to plant orange and avocado trees directly into the ground. I’ve wanted to grow oranges, lemons and avocados for YEARS, so I’m beyond excited to finally give this a try!
I’ve also potted several into large pots, so time will tell which ones are happiest and which method works best in our climate.
Some things will thrive. Some things probably won’t. But that’s half the fun of growing your own food, you never really know until you try.
And maybe one day we’ll even build that geothermal greenhouse I keep dreaming about…
For now, we experiment, learn and keep growing.
