Getting Started with the Greenhouse
Most of the bedding plants will not go in the dirt until late December. Right now is a slow time in the yard and garden so it is a good time to get the greenhouse ready. Cabbage and broccoli plants can be started now for fall planting. I am also going to plant some tomatoes in the hopes of having winter tomatoes.
The shelves were installed this weekend. The lighting is not in yet. That will hopefully be done this week. The important thing now is sanitation for the coming season. All of the pots and flats and pads will be cleaned with dishwashing soap and Clorox. They will be soaked in the Clorox for at least 2 hours before being washed and taken back into the greenhouse.
The whole floor of the greenhouse was loose bricks. I tore all of those out when I made the raised bed against the back wall. I will be using pavers for the new floor after I level the dirt and get everything really clean. The pavers will be cleaned with a Clorox solution to kill any mildew or fungus spores that may be on them. Next years garden begins!
