The Lush Greenhouse

I tried something new in the greenhouse this year.  I now have raised beds following the Square Foot gardening method.   I filled the boxes with 1/3 compost, 1/3 peat moss, and 1/3 vermiculite.
What a difference it has made! My greenhouse is looking fabulous with ripening tomatoes,












































Greenbeans, cukes, peppers, lettuce, zuchs, and onions, crowded into a little eight by ten space.

 
 I added flowers this year also to attract the bees to help polinate my vegies.  My mom loved zinnias and usually had a few growing in the garden. They are killed here easily due to our frequent frosts so I have them in the greenhouse.
