Fresh Pico de Gallo all the tomatoes and serrano pepper is from our aquaponics garden.
It is so good.

We are still getting tomatoes every day.

I was looking up framing last night and I came across this. This is my design and it looks like the ridge beam will actually do some of the support. Yes this is out of my expertise.

It rained us out yesterday so no more progress.

Here is one of today’s tomatoes.

nothing like fresh raw food.

build looks like it's coming along nicely. I don't imagine you have much to calculate in the way of a snow load. lucky.

Last year we did not get any snow at all. Sometimes we get a couple inches for a day or two.

Todays tomatoes

They are still growing and producing.

Some of the garden is winding down like the broccoli is done and the cucumber is just about done.
Pepper plant still has a pepper on the way. Some of the tomato plants are done but some are still doing great. We have killed so many tomato horned worms.
These watermelons are small but this one is very good nice and sweet.

The front 1/2 of the greenhouse roof is going to get polycarbonate called Polymatte.
Polygal North America | Polymatte | high diffusion panel | architectural greenhouse markets
The glass I was going to use was not tempered and this will not meet code and is really not safe.
This will make a lot less weight on the roof.
I can pick this up at charlotte NC and save money on creating and shipping.

The next crop is on its way.

They are starting to put out stuff just for aquaponics.
