I really enjoy growing nasturtiums.
They are easy, and grow quickly.
They are great in hanging type containers.
And the flowers are edible. They are pretty morsels of peppery goodness when mixed in yummy salads.

Here is a nasturtium I grew in a discarded sink vanity a few years ago. I would guess that the sink was probably a little bit less than two gallons.

I leave almost everything in my yard for the wild life to eat. It’s sort of surburbia around here, which is a killing field for the creatures.

Great for cooking pie. Mine feed the baby Blue Jays. I’ll get a pic some year.

And a Partridge, say, maybe in a pear tree?

Hey, it’s the season.

Every year is a battle with the birds to see who can get more cherries. Usually the dog and I go out late afternoon and I pick, while he eats 1/2 of what I pick.

@99PerCent That is a beautiful shade of green with that cabbage. I grew some pumpkins, beets and tomatoes the year before but they were all stolen. I have some pretty shady neighbours so decided to refit the whole garden over the summer. New fencing, raised beds, sturdier shed with locks. The greenhouse was meant to be ready in autumn but the rain set in so only had time for the concrete base with the rest of the building supplies sat on top. Should have it complete soon as the weather is good for building in March. The concrete base is half the job. It’ll be 12 foot x 12 foot finished so plenty of room… and a very big padlock.

Soon as it’s up I’ll drop a picture.

The finished product looks fantastic. Is that clear polythene sheeting you used? If so, how does that hold up in the winter @99PerCent ?

Just fine. The materials are poly-carbonate sheets for walls and poly-carbonate roofing panels.

I bought them from a place called Greenhouse Megastore on line.

The Trim is PVC and 1/2 of the structure is built like a shed. The floor is concrete pavers on top of sand.

Two Andersen Windows. (not necessary)

I had considered acrylic for a while before giving into the solid layered poly-carbonate. The weather can be pretty schizophrenic here at times. It also has the benefit of being slightly cheaper so I won’t be too sad if a gale swoops in and knocks a window out. One of my neighbours, a bit of a dodgy builder, keeps trying to convince me to give up on a purely wooden frame and do a 3 foot high brick bottom to the greenhouse. He’s a bit too into cement, drove his wife mad last summer building a concrete raised pond. It was only meant to be 3x3 and by the time he was done it was 10x6 and she was threatening to leave home because he’d concreted over half her plants. Point being I don’t trust him not to turn the greenhouse into a strange shape if Iet him come play with cement.

Growing anything interesting in there?

Definitely Overbuild build to last. :house:

4mm double wall stuff will collapse if you sneeze while assembling. I used 8mm double for the walls and it was a minimum. Would recommend 8mm, 3 wall. In about 10 years, I will replace with this or better when things have been damaged by time.

Good advice. I have 6mm for the sides, the roof is on impending order with soil for the spring so could see about switching that out for 8mm. I’ll have a gander at what else the warehouse might have in stock.

Now, we can really have some fun!

Last year, I raised nearly $1,000 for a local garden club by giving them 100+/- tomato sprouts.

Going to double it this year. :imp: :tomato:

Gee, I hope they get paid.

The local garden club is going to get lucky this summer. I am rooting 5 Hibiscus Trees for them to sell.

This is the first cut I made.

And Momma is busy! :white_flower:
