August Poly-tunnel update
Bell pepper are coming up every where in the Poly-tunnel. Last year was our first successful bell pepper crop. Last year we had 4 plants this year we have 19. They seem to thrive in the Poly-tunnel which is a warm, humid and wind free environment.
We have our very first Galeo-melon ever. It was an experiment to see if we could grow them successfully in our climate. We hoped that they would thrive in a Poly-tunnel. I am pleased with our first attempt to grow melons has gone so well thus far. It gives me such a feeling of satisfaction, when we over come obstacles and succeed in growing something like bell peppers. We failed to grow them in our earlier attempts. We are stubborn and try to learn from our mistakes and try again. Gardening has a huge learning curve, that also requires patience. It is so satisfying, when you get it right.

I’m so pleased you’ve got melons. Guess you’ll be growing them again next year?
I was surprised that it worked. I did not pollinate the flowers by hand. I was worried that they were not self pollinating, because it seem late in the season to finally get one melon. I didn’t get any information about the plant,when I bought it at the plant nursery. Yes, I plan to try and grow them again next year.The first time I tried to grow melons, I only got flowers. I started the plant inside the house and then planted it in the mini-green house.I pollinated the flowers by hand, but I never got anything but flowers.We only watered the vine this year and We got one melon. I don’t get it, but I am not complaining.

Think green, act green, and be green. Let it be seen in more bell pepper, melons, and cherry tomatoes, Honey, which you need to try out..best wishes.
Last year I made sun dried tomatoes. They were a huge hit with everyone. I can’t wait until we can start havesting produce from the Poly-tunnel.
