Hi dere and welcome to da greenhouse, eh!

I guess it's time for an update on the plants growing in the greenhouse. It's easier to tell this story with pictures, so here we go.

My waternelon plants seem to be growing well now. I just gave them a couple of tomato cages to grow on, they seem to want to climb up something. They'll probably outgrow that pretty quickly, but it was handy to start with.

The popcorn plants are starting to tassle!

The catnip is flowering. My camera didn't quite focus properly on this picture. The poor cats can't seem to find this plant to abuse it now, I think the tomato plant smell is too strong in the greenhouse and masks the catnip smell. Custer, the big orange fluffy cat knows it's in there, but he can't find it now. He just begs me for a piece of it every day.

The cucumbers continue to climb the fence wire. I ate that big cucumber for a snack. :-)

The cherry tomatoes are starting to get ripe now. Pretty soon, I'll have a whole bunch of them getting ripe all at once.

The tomato plants have just gone nuts! The monster plant in the foreground is an heirloom Brandywine Pink double plant.

There's tomatoes all over the 2 Early Girl plants.

I have 1 yellow banana pepper in the aquaponics setup. Its a bit tall and spindly because the cherry tomato plant was blocking a fair amount of it's sunlight for a while. It has flowers now, and one pepper starting. This plant doesn't have aphids, which is a good thing.

I decided it was time to tie back the tomato plants to help support them, and to get them out of the way. They were hanging over the walkway too much.

That's it for today's update, stay tuned for future updates! :-)
