Greenhouse hugelkultur raised bed update

Here's a few update pictures of my raised bed experiment, the peppers are starting to fruit, the tomatoes are flowering and have grown to the rafters in my greenhouse, but I haven't yielded any fruit yet. This bed has been the easiest to maintain and has the most vigorous growth results in my garden. However my outdoor hugelkultur rows already have ripe tomatoes and the plants are about 2/3rds the size of those in the greenhouse bed.

One thing I've noticed about growing tomato plants in the greenhouse is that they get tall, and not so thick stemmed. It may be that they're reaching for the sun more than the outside ones do. It seems that no matter how clear the greenhouse covering is, it still filters at least a bit of sun.
The growth of your plants is pretty impressive.

Thanks, I have a 60% shade cover over the greenhouse so that might be the problem. If I didn't have the shade it will get well over 130 farenheit during the day

Yeah, I believe that. I've seen my greenhouse get to 100 a couple of times, even with both doors wide open.

This is beyond amazing.

This is a game-changer.

Wonderful job.

Awesome! keep us posted.
