SunPod Trial Garden

SunPod Garden-July 8/09
Welcome to the SunPod Garden. It is here that we trial all of our garden covers, as well as products from other companies such as seeds, compost and fertilizers. We love this part of our business as it is where the true intentions and dreams of SunPod come from. We are continuously, in all 4 seasons, growing and harvesting an abundance of fresh food and flowers and feel blessed by it.

We encourage you to start and nurture your own garden whether it is just a beginning with a few pots of herbs and containers or whether it is a much larger enterprise. We offer you many ideas and tips for having your own garden success from seed to sprout, from salad to sustenance.

Check back often to see what is happening and what we are growing in our SunPod Garden.
After a few days of summer rain I am happy that my "Patio" tomatoes are well protected by a SunPod Signature mini greenhouse. "Patio" is a determinate tomato that only grows 2.5 ft and is sweet and delicious.
This is the first year that I have included double petunias in my containers. They are a delight and have been much admired by garden visitors. They do not perform well in the rain however because they are so full with petals that they take a long time to
"Gold Nugget" Tomato is a charming yellow cherry tomato that has a rambling habit. It is a favourite with our children as they can always harvest a sweet juicy snack.
In my container garden trials the "Salad Bush" cucumbers are forming nicely. More to come on how they taste.
The Genovese Basil is abundant in transplant flats in our 8 x 10 greenhouse. Basil truly is the taste of summer. For more on growing Basil see Articles on sunpodgreenhouses.com
