GH Tomatoes blooming

I even found a thumb nail size tomato on the 4th July.

We've often thought about putting up a greenhouse but have yet to do it. Maybe it is time now after experiencing the bad spring we are having.

In Alaska, I think the plants know they have to do everything fast.
Short growing season with lots of daylight.

weird but ive found so many annuals this year coming back (that or they re-seeded somehow)... peppers, marigolds, greenbeans and petunias, but now everything has been at a stand still for what seems like over a month now.

My tomatoes bloomed very early this year...not sure if that is good or bad in terms of what they will yield.

Is that a Tardis greenhouse ?

Don't know what Tardis is.
It's a "Dave" Green house.
I built it. 2X4s & "suntuff "polycarbonate .

Well I lost a fancy "store bought" high $$ (Charley's GH from Washington) in a winter wind storm in the late 90s.
So I built one, I made it heavy duty, & strapped it down.
Not near a fancy but has held up through some tough winters & 90 mph winter winds.
It's nailed to the treated 4X6 foundation, on a gravel pad, like the fancy one was, but not taking any chances. Fancy one blew one panel out, wind got inside, well the next spring I picked up the pieces I found within a few hundred yards.
I used the pieces of the sheets that I found to make a compost bin & covers for some soil boxes. The metal framing was bent up. Saved the exhaust fan & control for the home made GH

The one I lost was similar to this one, it didn't handle high winds. Better insulated panels though, Some day may buy twin wall panels & build one that will handle my area. They have some new GH twin wall plastics now, tougher.

Dave, nice stuff. My garden is going in tomorrow. Pics will follow.
