Regular visitors to this site may well have wondered what we are doing in the glasshouse after all of the work to clear the previous crop.
Work certainly did proceed and we replanted the glasshouse in the 2nd week of July with Capsicums, Tomatoes, and trial row of Aubergines. Our plants all came from Trandos Hydroponic Growers in W.A. and are now becoming well established in their new home.
Capsicums and Aubergines
Our varieties for this growing season are all Rijk Zwaan varieties, and we will be integrating the production side of our activities with the "Love my Salad" project that the Chisholm hospitality students are involved in. Further details are available at http://www.lovemysalad.com/
Our Tomato crop is also establishing well, and we are trying to keep a more generative level of growing within the crop.
Tomato Endeavour
The down time in the glasshouse also allowed us to complete the installation of the high definition camera system in the Tomato house for the e Glasshouse project. This now allows us to gain a remote view of the glasshouse, as well as being able to rotate the camera 360 degrees.
Our window on the world!
The camera itself can also be programmed to take a picture at a specific time and in a specific place, so this will be a great advantage in our crop registration process.
