Summertime! Thursday, June 20, 2013 The summer solstice can be viewed as a period of vigor and growth, both personal and symbolically.If you are fortunate to have a small piece of fertile earth and have taken the time to cultivate and plant a garden, then this period of abundant sunshine is no doubt enhancing the growth and maturity of your vegetables and flowers.
Yep….it’s that time of year alright….experiencing that comforting feeling of having carefully set out our prized vegetables and fruit plants that were lovingly sprouted and nurtured in our greenhouse during the late winter. However, we must be diligent and not allow ourselves to be lulled into a false sense of security…thinking we can kick-back and wait for the strawberries and tomatoes to ripen for our eagerly awaiting palates

Now that Spring is giving way to Summer….we find the heat build-up in a greenhouse can prove stressful to your plants…sometimes, even fatal.To counter the extreme heat build-up in a greenhouse, you’ll need to exchange the volume of air at least once per minute. Beyond ridge vents and sidewall vents, which have their limitation to how much air can be moved….the next step in combating the heat is a mechanical ventilation system – consisting of a shutter-mounted exhaust fan placed high in one gable end wall….and a motorized air-inlet shutter typically mounted on the opposite gable end wall at or below bench top level.
Catch the Sunshine and Get Growing….Now that we’re well entrenched in the 21st Century with our advanced level of communication and technology….it’s time we pause and reflect back from where we’ve evolved in the relatively recent past. Just a little over 100 years ago, our principal mode of transportation was a horse or our two legs…although some of us were privileged enough to enjoy the luxury of driving around in our horse and buggy…..or a Model-T Ford automobile.
Now that spring is solidly in place, with each passing day we witness the results of our time spent in preparation, planting and tending our gardens. There is a mounting sense of anticipation as we watch our carefully planting seedlings begin to put on top growth, indicating the development of a healthy root system.
There were times in the past that only the very wealthy aristocrats could afford to own a greenhouse in which to enjoy their favorite fresh vegetables and fruits all year long. With today’s advances in engineering, design and manufacturing, anyone can enjoy the remarkable benefits of owning a greenhouse.
