Greenhouse Update

I haven't post anything in awhile, mostly because I have been busy with the greenhouse (we had a few malfunctioning pumps and complications that needed a lot of attention over the past week) and the moon has been up so there hasn't been anything too interesting to take pictures of. We've also been having a pretty big wind storm the past couple days (sustained 20 knots winds with gusts up to 30 knots). The wind storm has made it a lot warmer outside (-53 F right now, and maybe I'm going crazy but it feels so warm!), which is great if you are not walking directly into the wind or tripping over new drifts that weren't there yesterday. Since conditions outside haven't been great for pictures here is an update on the greenhouse.
 This system is mostly taken over by my cantaloupe plants but is also home to our sunflower which is about to bloom and the two hibiscus and pepper plants.
 All of my cucumber plants have died off so I've had to start over with new ones. This side has a strawberry plant that won't produce even with me pretending to be a bee.
 I took these picture just after I had trimmed the tomato plants so the whole place is a bit of a mess at the moment.
 One beautiful bell pepper!
The pumpkin plant is blooming! Hopefully we will get a pumpkin by Halloween!
