The Tomatoes Have Hit the Roof! - Greenhouse Growth

in gardening •  8 years ago  (edited)


 These days my greenhouse is feeling more and more cramped as the tomatoes and cucumber vines have declared that they are the captain now, I mean just look them.


 The tomatoes are over 7 feet tall, as are the tops of the cucumber vines that have climbed their way up.


 Nestled in the middle of the greenhouse are the jalapenos, peppers and a squash. The jalapeno plants are just now starting to flower.



 These peppers start by growing pointing straight up and bend down when they get a little heavier.


 The cucumbers are very successful this year and are already producing and being eating daily.


 The tomatoes are on the verge of ripening up and the first one is almost there, lot's more right behind it!



The potatoes are dying off outside the green house but had a good year, and the sunflowers are over 8 feet tall. Lot's of great stuff this year!

That's the current state of my greenhouse, I'll post more updates as things continue to ripen :)

Thanks for taking a look. @ckurtish

Beautiful greenhouse, looks like you got an abundance of fresh produce :)

Thanks, yes it's been a great year for growing and almost everything is doing very well.

Great photo and great garden! Re-steemed for more!!

ty, I appreciate it!

Very nice.

I see the new trend for tomatoes is to hang a string from the top of the house down to the base of the tomato plant. Then remove all the suckers so there is only one stem growing up the string. I'm not sure if that would help or make things worse for your situation. LOL

Yah, these probably could have been trimmed up a bit. The beef steak tomatoes on the other wall got pruned back and are still only about 4 feet tall. Oh well, as long as they aren't killer tomatoes I think It'll be okay. ;)

By the time you find out, it will have been too late.

I am so jealous, but love watching your lovely garden grow :-D

Last year was a bit of a disaster with not enough sun, this year seems to be making up for it. Thanks.

WOW you have a beautiful garden and greenhouse that is my dream! I can't believe how high those tomatoes went! Goodness!

I'm jealous of your greenhouse too. My brother has one that we will be starting to set up this fall I hope. Then watch out!

I have serious garden envy. Your garden is a sight to behold. Whatever you're doing it's working!
