Q&A

What kind of work have you been doing on the outside of the greenhouse?

We've been working to clear overgrown vegetation. We cut down a large branch from a mulberry tree that was running across the top, which is commonly used as a squirrel highway. This also helps prevent potential damage from storms and allows more sunlight to get into the greenhouse.

Are you setting up electricity for the greenhouse?

Yes, I plan to run wiring from the greenhouse to our house. This will allow us to have electric out here for the first time, which will be neat for using grow lights or other electrical equipment.

Did you encounter any wildlife while working on your compost pile?

Yes, I found a large snake while shoveling compost to bring into the greenhouse.

Have you started any plants in the greenhouse?

Yes, I've planted sweet corn in individual planters to let them get about three or four inches high before moving them outside, which is a new method for me. I also have several other plants started, including different types of tomatoes, peppers, and some seedlings my wife planted.

Do you have a farmers market in your area?

There are farmers markets, but I don't sell my produce there because it's highly regulated in the metro area of Oklahoma where I live, and there are many hoops to jump through, so I just grow enough for my family.

What's happening with the potatoes you planted in the garden?

The potatoes have broken the ground and are starting to grow. However, we're expecting another freeze, so I need to be cautious about that.

How often should you water your garden?

The watering schedule really depends on the weather and soil conditions. Some people water every day or every other day. Please advise on the best watering schedule that won't harm the plants, so everything is alive and well when my wife returns.
