Comments (14)Here's a couple of pics of my new portable greenhouse. The box it came in was smaller than I was expecting. It didn't seem like this would be a big greenhouse but once it was assembled, it was a very nice size. Setup was a snap. The greenhouse just sort of springs open like those play tunnels and houses that children have. There are some fiberglass rounds that fit into designed pouches that keep the greenhouse propped open. The base is anchored down with metal spikes that are hooked on the end. The top is anchored down with cords that are attached to anchored spikes. Yesterday, it was probably no more than 60ðF at the coast where I live but it was a toasty 88ðF in the greenhouse. I went out late morning today and the temp was 82ð. I think my tomatoes are going to be liking it! You can see the condensation forming on the walls after I put it up. It feels very tropical inside of it....See MoreMy 2011 grow list...what's your opinion...and your list?
Comments (71)I don't post here a lot, but I do on the Canadian forums. I lurk here :-) I don't grow a lot of tomato varieties but I do grow for quality. This year I have one plant, grown form a seed of the original Gordon Graham tomato. He has the world's record largest tomato according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Through good fortune and a friend, I was able to trade for just a few seeds from Gordon Graham's world record tomato. I got one to germinate, so I have one tomato plant that is a direct child of his original! I do grow other tomatoes but I'm really excited about this one! We had a very bad tomato year last year with lots of BER. This year I planted the tomatoes in my good lasagne "wine" garden, dug in lots of old manure, a little lime and one Tums tablet in each hole. The same friend who gave me the seeds above, told me that a Tums will help supply the calcium the tomatoes need to help prevent BER. So I'm trying it. It's easy and cheap, so I figured "Why not?" We'll see how it goes. Needless to say, I baby that plant! In addition to that one, I am also growing our own heritage Portugal beefheart tomatoes (see link to pic below), San Marzano, Manitoba, Ailsa Craig, and Rev Morrow long keeper.
