While I was building the greenhouse, I had this lil fellow coming every day checking on the progress

The greenhouse is hydroponics, but I also wanted to try the Kratky method (non-circulating hydroponics)

It was also time to make my main line

And of course a row for my potted peppers

Kratky seems to work pretty good for me :)

The tomatoes on line 1 started to explode with growth, my favorite breed: Mortgage Lifter... But I had a good 15 different breeds on the first year

Line 2 & Back line were catching up soon after

Lettuce staggered every 2 weeks from the Kratky beds (40 plants total)

Peppers love the greenhouse... as you can see from this Ghost Pepper plant :)

Wow with all the peppers and vegetables harvest Would almost make me want to have a garden. Alas I am far too lazy to even consider doing that amount of work. Great job on your greenhouse build and enjoy your harvests and fruits of your labors.
