snopuppy's plants and other things

Post by snopuppy13 »

well i should have started this earlier...but i'm pretty lazy :oops:

this spring was kinda tough for me.
i had alot of losses...but they were my fault.
i left the plants out in a coldframe too long.
most of my collection saw temps in the low 20s and upper teens last fall.

oh well...not being one to dwell on such things,on to the good stuff.

this shot is just an overview of our yard.Image

the posts in the middle are going to be part of the foundation for our new greenhouses.

the green plastic ones are temps for my plants and my wifes garden seeds.

heres a couple of shots insideImage

thats all for now...i'll post more when i get home from work.

by the by and all...none of these pics will be in any order,they could be from today or a month ago.

Nice overview shots. I always like getting a feel for other peoples setups. Were those greenhouses kits or homemade jobs?

nice setup there, and plenty of room to expand!
your collection looks nice too, you graft a lot don't you!

this is true...i just hope that i'm smart enough to learn from my mistakes. :roll:

daiv: the greenhouses were kits.
we got them cheap on ebay and decided they would be a cost effective solution till we got the habor freight greenhouses built.

i wish i could take credit for all the grafts...but very few were done by me.
my success rate is very low,so i buy plants already grafted then try to degraft them after a year or so.

now some pics from the last week or so.
