For my free inquiry project, I will be looking at improving my greenhouse gardening skills. I plan on growing five different varieties of tomatoes, two varieties of cucumbers, and one variety of sweet bell peppers. Although it is early in the year, one of the few things I can do to get a head start on the growing season is choose what I plan to grow in my greenhouse. 

Tomatoes

Orange Pear Tomatoes –  pear shaped tomatoes, sweet and juicy, good for salads and slicing.

Red Beefsteak Tomatoes – large, rich flavor, good for salads and sandwiches, ripens late/can be enjoyed late into the season.

Hawaiian Currant Tomatoes – small and sweet! Great in salads and eating right off the vine.

Black Russian Tomatoes – My personal Favorite. Large purple/black fruit. Sweet, juicy and good producers.

Indigo Rose Tomatoes – small, 2 inch purple/black tomatoes. Sweet, good in salads and eating off the vine.

Cucumbers

Marketmore Cucumber – Crunchy, sweet, good consistent producers. 8-9 inches long.

Bushy Cucumber – good producer, great for fresh eating and pickling. 5-8 inches long. Small compact bushes for limited space.

Sweet Bell Peppers

Carnival Blend – 20% California Wonder, 20% Diamond, 20% Golden California Wonder, 20% Orange Sun, 20% Purple Beauty.

Now that I have my varieties chosen, for next week I will research the best types of soil needed for planting my seeds.
