First Blog Message - Tomatoes and Friends


Never having had a "blogspot" before, this is somewhat new to me. So bear with me. As time goes by I will provide updates on the performance of my unique GH365 greenhouse. At the moment my tomatoes are bursting out all over, especially the Sub-Arctic Plenty that I planted from seed on October 12, 2009. I've been doing a great deal of hand-pollinating lately and have some that are perhaps an inch (2 cms.) in diameter. All are healthy and growing amidst a sea of lettuce, broccoli, green peppers, asparagus and many other vegetables -- some being harvested and others still babies or more mature.

GH365 - Solar Energy Greenhouse

The GH365 is a prototype for a year round greenhouse, designed for cold climates like here in North West Ontario. A great potential for small independent purposes such as a community operated facility (First Nation or other), an adjunct to farms or even farmers’ markets and food suppliers (restaurants, vegetable stands etc.), and last but not least, as a year-round greenhouse by design from conception, attached to residential homes.
