I was just looking at the growth from my May 21st pic (above) to my May 28th pic (last post)--still can't believe how much it has grown in 7 days.
Still cold and rainy, but I must continue to open the greenhouse on my way to work for fear of a sudden change in weather. Finally figured out how I will extend the greenhouse. The yard will be a right mess once I am done with this expansion project, and my wife will be even less pleased than she currently is. I’ll post pictures once I am done so everyone reading can have a good laugh. My wife is convinced any helicopters flying over the area already think there is some large archeological dig going on in my yard. Next year I will certainly build a hoophouse with pvc pipe--it will be cheaper, more roomy, and nicer looking. For now I will continue nailing 2x4's to my ugly but effective contraption.
Will continue my composting efforts when time allows. I have read about Vancouver growers using a variety of methods (Agro K, seaweed teas, eye of newt, etc.) but have not seen any convincing results yet : )
