Crawdaddy's 2014 Summer Outdoor Season

Craw, looking fabulous my friend! I am in awe at how you matter of factly say it is 90 out. What temperature do you keep the greenhouse, and how do you keep it cool?

I would LOVE to grow all summer in a small greenhouse on the deck. I fear it would just get to be 140 degrees in there.

Well it is a dry heat here, I used to live in KY so I know what the humidity like, ti would be like a steam house in there if had the greenhouses back in KY. The greenhouses have big vents along the bottom and air flow keeps it bearable in there, on the hot does i spray them down a time or two a day and the water evaporates cooling them.

and thank you!
 
Thanks downtown, it passed the getting full stage LONG ago LOL. It is beyond full :)
 
Just taking a peek. Hope you have some good air flow in there. Well as much wind as we're seeing coming down the Gorge that's not a problem today. That wind done knocked acouple of my girls over already. Had to make sure every pot was soaking wet to keep them from falling over. GL and Keepem Green

Yea the bottom foot of the sides is completely open. When the storms come it really helps to keep plants dry.

I am in the Gorge, well a mile north of river at about 1000 feet, but in a fairly protected area, it still can get breezy though. This pressure gradient is really going to get the West part of gorge though, i more in the west/middle. But these plants are so spoiled they would fall over quickly if put out in wind.
 
"BREAKING NEWS" Local Hero grows trees and saves a forest.
Congratulations Crawdaddy you've turned me into a tree hugger. (can I say that out loud).
 
Lol 60cal, I been wondering how I rescue drip rings from around the bottoms, need a saw I think :)
 
Harvest is still weeks away, these plants took a while to get started. I am hoping to do it in stages, plant by plant, the 3 in soil should be done alot sooner then the 2 'capn style' plants. I got a walk in closet that I move everything out of for harvests this size.
 
Weekly Photo Shoot!

Sorry if to many pictures, I got alot of plant area to get shots of :) and trying to show their size is hard in greenhouse small space..

Anyhow, weather has been great last week, sunny dry and mild. around 40 at night so a bit chilly, but 70-80 during day.

I just wish these plants, particularly the Crimea Blue, would hurry up. Early season storm/freeze always worries me. any how enough talk here the pics, 3 in soil are first followed by the 2 'Capn Style' plants.
