‘Nother post for Dave (and that mysterious person called Twitch)

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

A comment reminded me of something long overdue:
pics of the greenhouse being in use.

The outside seen from various angles:

greenhouse 1

greenhouse 2

greenhouse 3

The inside:

greenhouse 4

greenhouse 5

greenhouse 6

The terrace:

potted tomato 1
A so-called “balcony tomato” for cultivation in a pot…

potted tomato 2
… among the first we bought, and thus already starting on tomato production.

Although some of the tomatoes outside the greenhouse aren’t far behind:

tomato blooms
tomato blooms

beans
Hm, beans…

And back inside some of the seeds have been busy:

Don’t always believe “best by” dates. These Okra seeds were only supposed to keep till December ‘07 - and the package had already been opened!

The following pics are of the new ones I came across by accident in a home-improvement market. It was the only package they had (left?), and I immediately grabbed it.
The okras on the package look darker and more shiny than I know them, so let’s see what the plants will produce - if the filthy German weather doesn’t kill them dispite the greenhouse, that is.

And why are they “spineless” anyway??? Got no backbone, the fucking cowards, eh?!
