Overnight temp was 26F. Greenhouse was shut tight and at 10:30am measured 105F !
Got the auto openers for the roof windows attached now. Guess I can start bringing the seedlings out from my indoor rack to the greenhouse where they will thrive and not get cooked. Happy day!
Plus a handful of harvests today...
A bit of kale from the #allotment, plus the tops snipped off the leggy broad bean seedlings. Going to fry this lot up with garlic to go with dinner tonight.
A surprise fungus harvest from the #greenhouse... I am not yet 100% confident of identification, but this seems to be very alike good old agaricus bisporus. Perhaps from our home compost. Might eat them if I can improve on my confidence, but not too fussed if not as they're not exactly precious or fancy.
Finally a pot of Jerusalem artichokes from the fartichoke bed at home. They seem much better after their second growing season, plumper, less knobbly. This is basically just from me forking over about 50cm2 of ground and sifting out the bigger tubers. The plan with these is to slice them and layer them into a mousaka.
I have a #coldframe made of perspex and wood which due to its location gets a lot of sun in the morning, I've added some temperature sensors and it can get temps of over 40C at times, this is only for 30-60mins and then it gets a bit of shade and cools down.
I'd like to try and take advantage of this burst of heat but spread it during the day - so Mastodon friends - would adding some thermal mass help, perhaps a plastic bottle of water painted black?
What's nice is that I have sensors so should be able to monitor effectiveness!
This is my monthly peep into the greenhouse for the end of March. All the over-wintered plants have been potted-on and the sowing season is well underway despite the indifferent weather; (we had 'wintry showers' on Tuesday and Wednesday). Veg like broad beans, peas, onions and leeks are growing well, as are annuals like cosmos and sunflowers. Seeds of tender annuals, tomatoes and peppes are germinating nicely in the propagators.

Das Fundament habe ich jetzt Monate vor mir her geschoben. Aber jetzt ist es fertig. Am Dienstag dann die Erde ebnen und das Gewächshaus drauf.
Das Rudern heute morgen und das Kochen am Mittag waren weniger anstrengend :-)
