The Greenhouse

Andy was concerned that the plants in the greenhouse would have gotten too hot. He had shut the fan off before he left…the wind kept blowing the vents closed and the fan was overheating. He was planning to turn it back on the next day, but…. Three and a half weeks later, when we got up there, the temperature inside was about 115°F, but the plants had been watered automatically and they were thriving.

    Wow, your plants sure can take the heat better than I can!! They must think they are back in the jungle.

      That’s way too hot for me! I’m not surprised about the avocado and plumeria, but the beets and lettuce were doing fine too. We harvested some of them.

    Wow, it all looks amazing. Glad it all survived.

      That was good, especially since Andy may have lost some trees. Kaitlin and Torben were the ones who suggested the greenhouse, and we’re so glad they did.

    I am so happy to see your beautiful green house is safe and all is well with it. it doesn’t surprise me that the heat did not hurt the plants, as long as they have water that is what our temps are all the time. if we are 90 like yesterday it is 110 plus if in the sun not shade. plants love water and heat. I know Andy was tickled pink. great shots on flicker

    Yay for automatic!

  11. I’m so surprised! This is sure a testament to Andy’s craftsmanship. Just curious if he patented the design?

    Oops. My comment is to Myra and I meant it for you and Andy.
    Yay! Yay! 😀
