***I should have been logging my grow through the entire season in this section. I will continue the remainder of the season here and start a new log when I begin my 2018 grow.***
This season I decided to try growing my peppers completely under a cold frame. I wanted to find out if the plants would perform better under the plastic. They definitely have far exceeded what I was expecting to happen . My plants are massive by comparison to last seasons plants growing in open air. I also have gotten more production from my peppers over last season.
On July 11th I posted a video tour of my pepper garden. The plants were already looking great and the July temperatures were helping the plants start to grow fast.
I made a second updated tour of my garden for the month of August. There is a extremely significant difference from the first video. The plants have taken over the garden and there are a lot of peppers growing. Some of my plants still have not gone past the flowering stage, and I don't know if I will get much for pods from them.
Over all the greenhouse is working fantastic.My wife wants me to give up a bit of space for some of our other crops. I will be giving up the first section, where all my Jalapenos and Fresno peppers are. This is definitely proving to be the way to grow peppers out here in the Canadian Prairies. I will post at least one more video and pictures of my final harvest before the season is over.
