the greenhouse started out as a insulated hog house. i bumped out with large double paned glass panels from the local recycled building material store. laid black plastic on the insulated floor and added two 55 gallon water barrels. that water heats up during the day and helps keep off the chill at night.
in order of priority. tomatoes. basil (thai and genovese). peppers (hot ones like habanero, serrano, jalapeno), cantaloupe, eggplant (those long asian ones), okra. most of these are permanent... ...greenhouse residents because it's just not hot enough to grow them here outdoors. typical summer highs of 20-25C and night time lows dipping below 10C. tomatoes no likey.
