 Green house..much larger then the other one 6ft x 8ft The frame from the old one sits inside it for shelving for now..  Green house..different view  Some of the tomato plants  More plants..some need transplanting already. We will get pics of the plants now. They have had a growth spurt in the last 5 days..  This shows the plants & inner construction of the green house  More plant babies. Cant wait to plant them in the ground!! |

Isn't that always the way...never get all the parts, but that is definitely a nice find. Does it have vents? And do you have to have a fan set up to circulate the air? I have a small five tier that will cook plants in a heart beat if it's in a spot that gets to much sun.

I have a small five tier that will cook plants in a heart beat if it's in a spot that gets to much sun. Joe, it has 4 windows, and both ends open...We do use a fan..WHEN & IF..the temps get above 80...but Hey, this is Minnesota...that's only happened twice, and was able to drop the temp using only the windows/door... for the next few nights, we will be concerned with running a small heater, temps tomorrow night to be about 35° The greenhouse frame is made from a heavy gauge steel, 1 1/8 inch diameter... the shelves are the old greenhouse frame...for this year...we needed the new greenhouse, the other one was failing, so, the new one fit right over the old frame..making the transition easy...next year, we'll come up with shelving...making enough room in the center...for a couple lawn chairs |

Me I prefer something less hands on so I can concentrate on other things. I really like the looks of your little green house, and it has lots of ventilation in the rite places. That lawn chair Idea sounds great, ya just need ta find the time to put yer kiester in it. |

No, those aren't lights, they are the balls on the little elastic hold downs...
Spuds we have been able to maintain, sometimes like the last two nights (32 and 35°), a temperature of about 50°; using a low wattage electric heater.
the humidity stays about 70%
daytime temps, with sunshine we open the vents and it stays about 75°
we have 15 trays or so left inside it will comfortably hold about 20 flats+ spare room for storage.
It measures 6x8 and is 7 foot tall, the price I believe was 140 bux with tax.
Surprised at how well built it is..
Wind, I have it well anchored, it has withstood with no problem two days of 40 mph. winds...best greenhouse yet, outa three we have had

What a SUPER deal you got,CONGRATS!!!!!! .............. Well.....I gotta make a itsy bitsy comment here.. I will agree with Phil on the quality of the greenhouse & the sturdiness of it & the roominess of it..  How ever the 140 bux should have another 96 bux added to it..came to 236 w/tax.. We were both sitting in it today re-potting maters. I am in the process of selling off some so we can narrow all the plants down in it to ours. People love the plants we provide which is why they keep coming back! Esp for the Amish Paste!! I have some who want plants just by seeing what was delivered today. So I expect it to snow ball here.  No extra left to try & find a home for. ( hopefully) |
