As we are going to the end of the growing season, we will terminate all the crops in the greenhouse. Therefore, we encourage members to harvest all the tomatoes, sweet peppers and herbs. You are allowed to take whole herb pots home for your garden, but this does not include the pots (U of S property). For those who have taken herb pots home, please return the pots to the greenhouse in E where our crops are.
For the pepper and tomato groups, I will get some cuttings from your crops to save good varieties, so please
do not prune the side shoots or new meristems.
Here is the schedule to terminate the crops:
- May 9: From 1pm to 3pm: terminate all the cucumbers and herbs. In addition, we will do some ornamental propagation.
The reason we're terminating the crops is because it's not feasible to keep the greenhouse crops during the summer, since the field will be much more productive during this time of the year. In addition, this will give us a break period to clean up our area and keep the bugs out. However, this year we will start planting our new crops around July, so that we can have fresh produce ready around November - December.
If you would like to know more information please don't hesitate to ask me.
