Less fruit than last year, but it is sweeter.

Thanks.
I put it in ground last year, and it grew double in size since then.

This is my fourth year seeding Guava. Don't know which variety, but very tasty.
The plant got bigger this year and so as the fruits.

Is this Kauai White Sugarloaf Pineapples READY to eat?

Does the top still look like it can be planted? I want to plant it, but it look like they cut the top off for shipping.

Harvested the last Soursop yesterday. Weighted over 7 lb, the largest I ever touched. It tastes much better than the previous 5 fruits. Maybe being in ground helped the size and taste.

Thanks Wslau.

@Ctmiami. It's home grown. I bought a cut online 3 years ago. I bought a American Beauty, but I think they sent me a wrong one because this doesn't look like an American Beauty.
Thanks

Thank you Mark. I had thought about it and did the calculation at the time of building my original greenhouse. I forgot the exact cost per gallon at the time, but I remember it wasn't a reasonable saving for me. I like the convenience of electric heater. Therefore, I decided to go for it.

Thanks Mark,
Anthan

Public gas line is not available at where i live. Therefore, I am using a 10KW electric heater. Monthly cost is about $100 to $200 depending on outside temperature. I maintain inside temperature at 60 degree.

Good luck Vstol with your greenhouse.

Hi Mark,
         The sliding doors are on rollers on the bottom tracks, just like a typical patio door. Did you make the root-builder pot yourself?

Thanks,
Tuan

Thanks for sharing Mark. You got beautiful plants in that greenhouse. Your greenhouse appears to be much bigger than mine.

Thanks Tropicaliste! Yes, they are sliding door (patio door from Lowes). I have most my plants in ground. I plan to remove the roof during warmer season and let the plants expose to natural environment as much as possible. Sliding doors make it easier to open the sides. The main purpose is to make the greenhouse being convertible as much as possible.

The six sliding doors cost about $2,800, which is much more expensive than poly-carbonate sheet. The roof are made of 4 4ftx12ft sheets. They are installed to a metal track, and the sheets can slide in and out. I hope the plants will like this design.
