Sharon’s Greenhouse Update
The times are getting closer to planting. I have 39 slicer and paste tomatoes left . These would do fine in a cool greenhouse. No cherry tomatoes left.
Cucumbers::: I have plenty of pickliers, Only 3 yellow Zuchini left.. I still have flowers, mostly plants for planters and garden. I do have lots of White geraniums and alyssum left. Only 2 / 6 packs of Silver wave petunias. And 4 6 Paks marigolds. I have jalepeno peppers , a couple egg plants, basil , cilantro, and parsley. I do have some cabbage, no broccoli left. Chinese Cabbage and bok choy.
