Growing Dome Owner Harvests Over 100 Cucumbers

From Ross Woolf in Spanish Fork, UT

“I love going to my Growing Dome every day as a place to enjoy the peace it brings. We live in a mountain home with a very short growing season. The Growing Dome has made gardening a reality for us (as well as protecting it from the deer).

As an experiment, I made some self-watering planters out of storage totes this year. Due to work, etc. I did not get them finished or anything planted in my Growing Dome until June, but thanks to the environment of the Growing Dome everything has exceeded my expectations. The planters are here to stay. In one planter (storage tote) I planted eight cucumber seeds. I have picked over 100 cucumbers so far this season and there are still more coming! The pole beans have grown so big they are creeping out the top of the Growing Dome. We have had more tomatoes than we can eat, as well as zucchini squash.

Other things growing are butternut squash, Swiss chard, beets, carrots, watermelon, and a few other odds and ends (including a miniature peach tree). I’ve been very happy with my Growing Dome and everyone who comes into it is amazed and loves it as well.”

Growing Spaces

I worked at Growing Spaces from 2015 to 2023 and returned in 2025. I’m here to guide you through purchasing a Growing Dome® greenhouse—from planning and site selection to choosing the right accessories for your climate. My goal is to help you create a thriving space for plants (and people!). I also manage the Growing Dome Advisor team and help with technical questions, installation documents, and day-to-day operations. I love empowering people to grow fresh, nutrient-dense food and watching a Growing Dome transform empty land into a personal sanctuary. I enjoy collaborating with our team to solve challenges and make it easy for anyone to buy a Growing Dome. I graduated from Western Colorado University in 2013 with a B.A. in Environmental Studies. In my free time, I enjoy hiking with my wife and our two big dogs, skiing, backpacking, and exploring the outdoors with my camera. My photography business, Kinetic Exposure, is rooted in a simple belief: people seek artwork that changes how they feel. Whether it’s a night sky bursting with stars, a quiet wildlife encounter, or a mountain peak glowing at dawn, I’m not just documenting moments—I’m transporting viewers into them.
