We're starting off with some beautiful plants that survived the summer in the greenhouse, and a number of baskets of ivy geraniums from a neighbor of mine. In addition, we have more than a hundred packets of seed, and will order still more as time goes on.
Last year's crop of seedlings was a huge success: faculty snapped them up, making several hundred dollars for the club. Above is Tomato 'Sugary F1 Hybrid'. It's indeterminate, which means it never stops growing. Faculty report phenominal success with this variety, and it's still fruiting in the greenhouse right now.
Below is Zinnia 'Candy Cane'. The zinnias bloomed in my garden until frost last week.
We'll grow a large assortment in the winter and for the spring. Top requests are for more tomatos and herbs: can do!
This year we've got around 24 club members so far. It will be a challenge keeping you all occupied, but there's no end to the exciting projects we can do in the greenhouse. Growing plants for sales is just the start: we can also run experiments, create ecological habitats, compost, and a host of other exciting things. You choose!
