It extended our growing season. We were able to start seedlings in March. Up north where I live, as you can see by the photo, our winter is harsh and stays around till April.
The greenhouse is being used at a high school, and so the peppers get planted in the spring by the students and they are ready to be harvested and made into Hot Pepper Relish in the fall when we are back to school. It is perfect!
We've been growing vegetables, herbs and flowers for our local food bank, Fare Share, for a few years. Our own freezer was full too. We gave 1839 lbs. in 2024, almost a ton!
I managed to grow a variety of tomatoes, hot peppers, green peppers, and flowers. When I look back on the installation process, my builders did a great job.
This is the first year I can be proud of huge tomatoes that I could actually pressure can because I got so many. I’ve never had so many cucumbers and peppers, and I didn’t know a ground cherry bush could grow 4 feet tall.
My gardening experience has changed completely, allowing me to perform extremely difficult procedures like root grafting and repotting earlier in the season. It is essential to keep my living sculptures alive in our harsh winters.
Added 2 exhaust fans, a rainwater barrel, a 6x6 cedar base, a cement pad, in-ground growing, oscillating fans, and a shade cloth. Planning to build a workbench.
Last year was our first with the Sungrow, and it made a massive difference. It helps us get crops to market sooner and provides better control over start-up conditions.
