My biggest worry about the greenhouse right now is just having enough room to walk around when it goes into production on Saturday. I moved two of the 15-gallon grow bags outside and that opened it up quite a bit. Those two will hold sage and onions/cilantro. What you see in this image is what will be in there against the northeast wall all season. But there are a number of other grow bags and pots that I can't move to their final locations outside until June because, you know, Montana foothills.
Row by row, from left: Geranium holdover from last year, Teddy Bear Sunflower and some other flowers, petunia holdover from last year, and geranium cuttings that were overwintered. Next row, Tam Pepper in 5-gallon bag (barely visible), Bell Pepper in 7-gallon bag, flowers in 15-gallon bag, dill in 10-gallon bag, and strawberries in 5-gallon bag. Next, the chives are a placeholder for TBD, overwintered mum, overwintered mum, strawberries in a 5-gallon bag.
The things that will end up at the house but will have to start in the greenhouse are Tam Pepper in 5-gallon bag, Bell Pepper in 7-gallon bag, and 5-gallon bags of strawberries, cilantro and geraniums. I have two 15-gallon grow bags that are allocated for potatoes and another sunflower, but I don't think I can start them in the greenhouse because they will be impossible to move once I water them. I might have to recruit someone to help. Or to do it for me.
What I am happiest about today is getting some of the stuff out of the garage. Last time I counted, I have 10 peppermint plants, and at most I want five. Same with rosemary, and Cuban Oregano is even worse. This is mostly mint in the mini, although a few of the others are in there also. I don't like to throw stuff away (as you can tell), but the mint will be the first on the chopping block. We don't really even use the mint. I just grew it because the deer won't eat it.
