Northern Climate - Outdoor Greenhouse

Week 7 - June 22nd 2020 Well life and some much needed R&R with my Farm Hand got me side tracked this week. Not much progress was made on the greenhouse but it’s occupants sure were busy!!!. Had another great week of strong growth, maybe it was just being away for 4 days but after getting home today wow what a sight!! The big 6 as I have been calling them (see photos) are rocking it every week with a steady 5 - 10” of growth. The “Farm Team” (named for my Farm Hand, she has a soft spot for this group, she keeps telling me they are just late bloomers and to look out!! Time will tell if she is right) is doing really well also, they have started making the big jumps, and they are really starting to establish themselves. The definite leader of the “Farm Team” is without a doubt the Dr. I think she’s making a push for the big 6, she’s almost doubling in size weekly. 1) Cherry Pie #1 26” (+7”) - Seed 2) Cherry Pie #2 27” (+8”) - Seed 3) Peyote Gorilla 22” (+6.5”) - Seed 4) Grapefruit 14” (+4”) - Clone 5) Kali Must 26” (+10”) - clone 6) Sundae Punch 20” (+5”) - Clone 7) Dr. Grinspoon 22” (+10”) - Seed 8) Grand Daddy Purp 13” (+5”) - Seed 9) Skywalker 13” (+5”) - Seed 10) Frisian Duck 13” (+1”) - Clone 11) Double Grape Auto 12” (+7”) - seed As mentioned in the intro, I didn’t accomplish much on the greenhouse, still fighting with the eaves trough system, lots of leaks inside, I think it needs to come down and get re positioned. So I have that and the hip vent as to priorities, but have also been recruited by my Farm Hand to build a new deck for her father. So we will see just how much I get finished.... For those that are interested I got away to a cottage north of Bancroft on Carson Lake, other than being the tail end of black fly season it was incredible. The nearest town was Barry’s Bay, nice small (tiny) town, has all the essentials, Beer Store, LCBO, Pizza joint, 2 groceries stores and a Home hardware. Town was just 10 min from the cottage. A definite recommendation is the Ashgrove Inn, a small little motel situated across from a small lake, great food, great patio, and amazing sunset from the dock side patio (lakeside order and boat pick-up... very cool) Carson Lake is very clean, clear and quiet, it is a spring fed lake with a proportionate number of cottages. We had an incredible time checking out the lake by paddle board and my Farm Hand was able to work on her tan lines!!! All in all it was just the getaway we needed.
