Greenhouse in November

We have a small greenhouse that we use primarily in which to raise tomato and pepper plants during the spring.  However, this fall we have a few other things going on in it as well.  For example, I have some Diffenbachia house plants I am propagating in there.


And, here are some Aloe Vera plants.


Tom has some lettuce plants he has started in flats.  He will set them out in the hoophouse when they get a little bigger and the weather has warmed a bit.  This is the best way to start lettuce that will be sold by the head.  



If you look closely, you can see some red just beginning to appear on some of the varieties, like Lollo Rossa, which have red leaves when mature.



Finally, before it frosted, I brought one of the potted tomatoes in.  It is doing great and even has blooms!



It will be interesting to see if these flowers actually make tomatoes and, if so, whether they will ripen.
