Oil crops
Does anyone grow oil crops and have any good success? I have American hazelnut, and have grown Ziar’s breadseed poppy, black oil sunflower, and hulless pumpkin seeds. Can’t seem to grow enough to make it worthwhile to produce oil. Thanks!

Looking to get some ideas!
Hello everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season! I am currently renovating what will be my dream greenhouse and while I have ideas for a rain catchment drip line system and solar powered fans… what are some other things you did (or would do) in your own greenhouses? Any systems, tips, tricks, hacks, etc?

Hi Amanda, I have solar fans but also installed an exhaust fan with thermostat as it was getting above 100F. I have a potting bench and setup shown in photos, shade cloth in summer and frost cover the rest of the year. Growing watermelon and cantaloupe in summer, cold hardy greens in spring/fall.
