Had to start sharing...

As I said earlier, it's been a lazy summer...although, I am working a real job too! I just realized I haven't posted pictures of Gr8Greens! What was I thinking? It has been a truly amazing thing...watching these plants grow from teeny, tiny seedlings to monstrous plants on the way to "The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" BIG! ;-) 

So, here are some photos covering seed planting to a couple of weeks ago. I'll start posting new pictures every couple of weeks as these things are really taking off...

Seeds planted on  June 30th. A few began to sprout in a couple of days...
Day 3 after planting. Amazing!









Nearly a 100% sprout rate.
Moved most seedlings to the Gr8Greens unit July 21st:

July 21st when most seedlings were planted.
August 9th growth. By then, I had only lost 5 plants out of 26, mostly the lettuce. The Florida heat is tough, but we built a shade tent and it has really helped.

This is the shade tent.
The big guy is squash.

Check out the roots on this tomato!












I'll post current pictures this week...unbelievable growth!

Talk soon...Kari
