Greenhouse Peppers

A little over 3 weeks ago I gave an update on the pepper seedlings we started in February.

These have all been transplanted into 4-inch pots and most of them have been moved to our greenhouse.   It is a very small greenhouse.  Here is a picture of it shortly after we built it in 2010.

And, here is a picture of the inside with the pepper seedlings stowed on the shelves.

Notice how much bigger they are than they were 3 weeks ago.  Along the back wall, you see some round pots.  Those contain some aloe vera that I have potted up and will be selling at the market this spring.

We have a small electric oil heater in the greenhouse  that does a good job of keeping it warm on frosty nights.  We don't try to keep it real warm, but just turn the heater up high enough to keep the plants from freezing.  Here is a picture of it.

And here is a picture of the thermostat.

We have tomato plants in the basement where these peppers started out.  It won't be long before they join the peppers out in the greenhouse.
