Some things growing in my greenhouse

[2busy]

I have 3 pineapple in one container. It usually takes about 2 years from planting the tops

Here is the flowering.

Hoping to get some bananas next year from these dwarf varieties.

That's an incredible project you have going there. Here in Colorado there are lots of greenhouses and if we ever get off the road, I think that would be something to really get into.

It's not cost effective but I just like growing things. Once you have one it's always something else to grow.

Here is an avocado germinating from a store bought seed. I'll use it as root stock and use a cutting from a grafted plant to duplicate it

The pineapples are too cool. I planted 1 years ago but a winter done it in. We did get 1 bunch of bananas that the kids took to school since they were half size. We had a bunch of banana trees at one time and the bananas were late in the season , October in Texas. They were very labor intensive since we had no greenhouse. They were in ground in a potting soil and were dug up and trimmed for storage each year.

Yea, the greenhouse will have to be heated. I am going to use wood heat mostly if I find a wood heater

Good luck on the heater search, 1 of things on my to do list is build one. Which has some priority so it may see the pages here by years end .

I may have to go with the 55 gal barrel kit.

I've got that, but will be using welded seam pipe, which I have a bunch of should you need, but you'll need end caps which I bought 2 of. They can be ordered off e bay or bought local I suppose.

Seen the 55gal stove before. Built one at my old welding shop job.

We installed another barrel on top that the bottom one was piped into and the top one had several 1-1/2” pipes running through it to act as a heat exchanger. Put a fan behind it to move the air through those pipes and that SOB heated an entire uninsulated 20’ x 40’ shop. (Shop was also about 20’ tall.)
