I've got most of the bubblewrap insulation in already. The tubs for the veggies are ready to go. The Humidifier is ready. The tomatoe cuttings are already rooted. Peppers are well started in their pots. Seeds of Chard are planted.

Then in Oct., before the 1st frost, I'll bring in all the tropical plants and veggies.

Ahhhh, you put me to shame; you're both way ahead of me! But then, first frost here is Oct. 31. My focus is still on the outdoor gardens and redoing several beds now that we've removed two large trees (both to be replaced, but with more desireable species in better locations).

Every so often, though, I look at the greenhouse and think "I've got to clear everything out, clean it, and prepare it for the next go round." Amazing what a difference it makes in attitude: Autumn used to be an ending, with the dreaded dreary and nearly barren months of January through March (November and December are just too busy to notice) fast approaching, but now it marks the beginning of a new season, and method, of gardening.

I do have some seeds left from last winter and those collected through the summer; a few cuttings are started (more will follow), and a few cherry tomato plants are ramping up for production soon. With more insect and fungus problems than usual this year, it's going to be important to make sure anything and everything I move into the GH is clean ... I do prefer to keep it all as organic as possible, but am certainly open to any suggestions.

Soon enough we'll get one of those delightful late summer days and it'll be a toss up as to whether to get to that greenhouse ... or stain the deck and railing ... or move those perennials and shrubs ... or maybe wash and vac my car?

Looking forward to seeing others report in ...

Winter was so gloomy here that when I retired and we built the house, we added a large sunroom. I did get to do some indoor gardening which helped keep me sane when the ourdoor gardens were asleep. With the larger Rion and the small HFGH... I'll be gardening all winter. :) This is my second winter with the HF, and the 1st with the Rion.

Got twenty tomato plants, 4 foot high and flowering in the raised beds. I have lettuce, peppers, herbs and other greens in smaller containers. My experiment this year is to train cucumber up the sides.
