Project greenhouse WIP...

Spot the spider.

Quite a small one for Australia ?

Meanwhile back at the ranch...

We have Grosse Lisse tomatoes, Lebanese cucumbers, broccoli, lettuce and celery.

Oops forgot to mention there is also Bok Choy!

Golden nugget mini pumpkins and rock melons transplanted…

Sadly these died in the heatwave...

User errors, my original nutrient level was low and in the heat you need to keep the greenhouse open.

Is there an advantage to having a greenhouse in warm weather? Most people have greenhouses so the can have plants in the cold.

greenhouse in warm weather?

Reduced harsh direct sunlight, protection from wind and rain, basically a more controllable environment whatever the season.

New 100 watt 10 inch $40 solar ventilation added...

I wondered if it got hot in there. The next thing to add is a heat source in cold weather.

It is unusual for the temperature here to ever fall below 40F in your money, so it's just a matter of closing the ventilation in winter to retain the daytime heat.

It must be nice!

Nice and maybe a little too hot, my biggest lettuce seedling is wilting...

 

[StevOz]

Too Hot, desperate extra evaporative air conditioning added, one ripped up towel zip tied and soaked in water…

Greenhouse update...

Greenhouse update...

The plants closest to the outside wall look like they are growing faster than the others. Does that side of the greenhouse face north? If so, the plants probably get more sun. You might periodically rotate the containers to make them grow the same amount. Otherwise they look good.

 

[StevOz]

Does that side of the greenhouse face north?

The faster growing plants on the side are facing East, the greenhouse is orientated North/South and gets some morning shade and is in the Southern Hemisphere. It's more a matter of chronological order of germination, also those containers don't move with almost 50 litres of nutrient solution within they weigh over 110lbs in your antiquated system of standards and measures.
