Essential Greenhouse Growing Tips Linda Martin

Are you thinking about adding a greenhouse to your garden? I fully support that idea! We have had our little greenhouse and it has become a cherished part of our homestead! It enables us to start a significantly larger amount of our food from seed than we ever had space for indoors. It has also become a special and strangely intimate space to spend time "outside" on rainy winter days. Truthfully, we love and use it far more than we ever anticipated!
Benefits of using a greenhouse:
Provides a protected place for seedlings and other tender plants.
Extends the growing season.
Allows you to grow tropical, rare, or other special plants.
May allow you to garden year-round.
Provides protection from many pests.
As you contemplate your options, let me share what we've learned and experienced in using and maintaining a hobby greenhouse.
