Tipi Greenhouse Update

admin May 29th, 2008

I just moved all the seedlings out to my tipi greenhouse and into the garden and planted the gerrnhouse with the summer crop of tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, artichokes and cucumbers. I probably have too many plants in there again but oh well ;-)

This is the third year that I’ve grown stuff in a tipi but last year, I didn’t take very many pictures of the gardens or the tipi. I promise to keep you posted this year - and I’ll even take a few pictures of the tipi and all the great produce.

My Greenhouse Tipi

admin January 3rd, 2008

I started this project two years ago and have had very good success. Like an idiot, I didn’t take any pictures of my new greenhouse tipi this year - had 13′ tall tomato plants with fruit the size of softballs. Attached are a few pictures from last year. This year I moves the greenhouse tipi (teepee) to behind the garage and setup my 19.5 tipi in it’s normal place.

Last year I planted everything in pots because the greenhouse was setup on the tipi deck I use for my 19.5′ tipi. This year, I nade a special basefor the tipi and filled it with top soil. The new greenhouse tipi is where the trampoline is now (see the last pic.)

I start all of my plants in the greenhouse tipi then move most of them into the garden as soon as the weather is nice enough. I leave a few tomatoes and peppers in the greenhouse for the summer and then try to keep then a few weeks after the first frost.
