|
This is my first posting of photos, so hope all goes well.
Here are my morning glories going over my greenhouse. In hot California, I use the greenhouse to keep some plants cooler in the summer so the flowers help to shade it.
This is one of my tomatoes still green. I have since picked a few of them. This is a heirloom variety called Black of Tulla.
Just checked- hurray! it worked!

Your Tomatoes look great too

It certainly did and you've posted two great photographs for us. I love the morning glories with their jewel-like colours. You must show us another photograph of your tomatoes when they ripen.

Great pictures. I would like to see more of the greenhouse, I don't think I have ever seen one like that. The morning glories growing on it looks great.

That is a neat green house, I haven't seen one like it before. Your pictures came across great.Morning glories were my mothers favorite, and I have always loved them as well. Thanks for sharing them.

Thanks so much for the comments. Morning glories were my grandma's favorites. this is the second year I have grown them on the greenhouse. I will take some more photos of the greenhouse. I just love it. It is 7x8' but really doesn't seem that small inside. I also like being in a climate that I can get 365 days use of it. Winter of course, and my tricks to outwit summer heat also. I probably should start a new thread with the greenhouse details, after I get some pix taken.

That is a great looking greenhouse - I sure can learn from you in this respect. We also live in mediterranean climate conditions and often have to endure water restrictions. I would like to see the inside too.

Impressive greenhouse and what a nicve touch with the morning glories!
Those toms are really looking quite good. They seem to be at about the same stage as mine.
I agree with Palm Tree... seeing the inside would be nice. How long is the greenhouse, BTW?
