My selling set up. Here are my hoop houses!
 

I have started to set up my hoop houses, so I can just uncover the houses to sell the plants. Way easier this year, as I won't have to carry plants all the way across the yard like last year. I will set up a table just to have a surface to set things on. And some pics of my greenhouse too. I bought a laminator at Costco for $20 last year, it has been invaluable for sign making. a packet of 200 laminating sheets is about $20 at Costco or Sams Club, so they are not too expensive. It goes a long way to saving signs.

Nice! Curious what varieties are the desert heirlooms?

These are the ones I have from Native Seed Search (descriptions are from their website), they are all desert adapted varieties, from the southwest. I ran out of the Punta Banda seeds last year so I don't have any of those. The Ciudad Victoria is a very short shrubby type of plant, very wide and low to the ground.
most fruits on all of these types are small cherry size fruits.

Ciudad Victoria TM005
A weedy, semi-cultivated tomato from dooryard gardens in Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Small round, sweet fruit are late maturing.

Nichols Heirloom TM014
These seeds were sent to us by the Nichols family in Tucson. Volunteer seeds that just kept coming up, they have been maintained by the family patriarch for about 50 years. It is well adapted to the desert; it is heat-tolerant and prefers full sunlight

Punta Banda TM007
Collected on the Punta Banda Peninsula in Baja California and grown out at our Albuquerque garden. The plants produced hundreds of red meaty, thick skinned fruits despite heat, water stress and poor soil. Great paste tomato

Texas Wild Cherry TM012
All we really know is that seed of this tomato was collected from a patch of apparently "wild" tomatoes in southern Texas. Plants sprawled in our Conservation Farm grow-out, producing tons of small, tasty, cherry-type tomatoes

Here are some pictures of my greenhouse, my dad built it for me, the counters are scavenged from a dumpster, they were wall hook displays from a business. He built drains underneath so I can reuse water.[IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/aeebc3b4-3a3d-1059.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/aeebc3b4-3a5a-de8f.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/aeebc3b4-3a6c-c9fd.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/aeebc3b4-3a83-08b2.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/aeebc3b4-3aa4-72b3.jpg[/IMG]

This was built into my pottery studio. I spend a lot of time out there!

Red solo cups...let's have a party!:twisted:

Wow, that is sweet!

Do you make those trays for the red solo cups?

I have some of those varieties from Native Seed Search, havent grown them yet.

Love your set up!! I too am curious about your holder for the solo cups? Did you make it? It almost looks like large muffin tins. I'm having an issue keeping all my cups upright and would love a device like yours to keep them in place.

The cup holders is another invention if my dads. It is basically a 1/4 inch plywood, cut to fit the trays (free from my brother who sells flowers, and gets them from incoming shipments) and with holes drilled in them to set the cups in. it works really well. Will take pictures tonight.

I am kinda annoyed that when I bought my seeds from Native Seed Search a few years ago there was about 100 seeds in the pack for 3 bucks, now they have reduced it to about 20 seeds for the same amount of money.

I also use 5oz clear plastic cups- I get my holders from WalMart's nursery- They sell little cactus, and when the flats are nearly empty they let me have them. I now have 4, which I really treasure! Here are some all ready to fill. The white trays came from Fred Meyers, and had peat pots in them which I threw away- I don't like them. Also the white ones have no drain holes so are good for bottom watering. If you will haunt the garden shops you can find some, I'm sure. I use an old woodburning tool to punch holes in the cups. That is one of my winter chores!
