Last snow ....

Last Snow...

The weather took an unexpected turn not very suitable for my plants. At the end of March we had snow... probably the last of this winter. 
The "good" part of this change was that i have seen the green house in this condition and i am pretty confident that i can use this one in the winter also.

 From the roof i have brushed about 7-10 cm (3-5 inches) of snow and the roof was ok.

Green House Arrangement

If you have read my previous post you all ready know how my green house looks like if not i advice you to read it because this post is related with my first one, and you will find information about the construction and materials used for the green house.

It`s time to plant some seeds inside and for this task i`ll need to arrange the space inside my green house.
So... the first thing that i`ve done was to use the left wood from the build and made a board long enough from one side to the other. To this board i`ll attach the dividers so i`ll know what seeds are planted in that area of the green house.
I`ve placed this board about 35-45cm (17-20 inches) from the back of the green house because i`ll use that space when i`m inside to water the plants. The next step was to rake the soil were i`ll plant the seeds latter on.
After i had finished this step i had prepared a mix from water and fertilizer and watered the soil. I had repeated this step also the next morning.  The panels from the green house were closed so that heat can accumulate inside.

Almost done (at least for a while) i had put dividers inside the green house. Next thing that i have done was to get the seeds and plant them in the soil.

....a bit of history
Living in a house have some benefits and one of them is space. So my plan is to use that space and practice what i`ve seen and what i`ve learned. Now that winter has passed i want to use the space from my garden.
My previous attempt to build a green house has teached me some stuff regarding construction:
 - the roof must have a high propensity otherwise the water will not flow fast enough and the plastic foil will deform.
 - it must have a good ventilation, and a way for the insects to get in and pollinate the plants flowers.

What happend with my last green house?

Last year when i`ve build my first green house i did not know the stuff from above so... my tomatoes have grown almost 2m (6.5 feet) in height but i did not had good results - there was no way for the insects to get inside and pollinate the flowers.
One other aspect of that green house was the roof - it was not sharp enough so the water will not stay long on the plastic foil ... so i had some watter bellys on the foil when was raining.
