I guess it has been a long time since I updated this, huh. Well it has been a very dry and hot summer here. I have learned a lot about the AP system since I first started it. Some good things and some not so good.

    I was worried about the temperature in the greenhouse so I put up the shade cloth, the same as we use in the regular greenhouse, and found out it cuts out too much sunlight. The plants were just sitting there. Nothing was growing like it should.  I started dropping the shade cloth until around mid day, and the plants seemed to explode with growth. That was one lesson.

Another thing I learned was that lettuce would grow all summer long if you just remember to start the seedlings. The direct seeding method didn't work. I am guessing it was because the ambient temp was too high. The seeds that were sprouted in the workshop lived, and produced all summer, till I had harvested them all.
Mustard greens on the other hand do very well by just seeding them straight into either the grow beds or the grow pots.

Redhouse, Juliet, and Tumbling Tom tomatoes, a variety of peppers, celery, cabbage, egg plant, basil, broccoli, parsley,and fennel also do very well.
