We spent some warm and humid time in the greenhouse today. Indoor gardening is definitely the way to go in the winter!
Things are coming along nicely now that the interior has warmed up. It took a couple weeks to warm up the soil enough to get those plants moving. The most impressive growth is the seed starting heat mat. This little gadget takes you from seed to plant in 3 or 4 days! Very impressive!
Cucumbers just a week since planting. I plan to install a trellis of some sort to support the vines here.
These are the soil warming buckets. Potting soil from bags is placed here to allow it to reach warmer temps before using in pots. These hold 4 regular sized bags.
This is the biopod where we are trying to grow grubs. It went dormant on the back porch due to the cold, so I moved it here to get it going again. After a week there are just a few signs of life inside.

These are pots filled with soil and waiting for transplanting. This waiting time helps to further increase the soil temp to speed up the tiny plant's growth.
Here are the broccoli and cauliflower we sprouted first. They are finally warm enough to start growing again and most have just recently taken off.
This shelf has basil, cilantro, radishes, and lettuce in trays, behind it is spinach waiting to sprout.
This row is zucchini planted same time as the cucumbers and growing nicely. I'm hoping they are bush and not vines!
Hunter and Kaelyn's potatoes are finally healthy and growing in the two big pots. In the back you can see the newly emerging tomatoes and eggplants resting on the heating pad.
And here is the world's best greenhouse keeper watering a few things, including the plants :)
