Greenhouse: Greenhouses out of old windows!, 1 by curvesarein

Well, you quickly find out 6 by 9 isn't very big, you have to make the best use of space. So we went out and bought closet shelving to wrap around it and put bigger pots under it. All the plants are in except my palms, when they go in it will be like a jungle. It's hard to get a good pic because it is so small, but maybe you can get the idea. Someone gave me the brackets and I spent about $80 on shelving, more than the rest of the greenhouse. We still have to make a door. But we have about $150 in it, not counting floor, it was already there. I came up with the idea of putting roof sealer on it, since it is wood. There will still be some finishing touches but they will happen a little at a time. I did get another set of shutters just like the ones on it. So I may put them on another side or put them below the other shutters to mimic my original inspiration picture, then add a window box in between. It sure is nice out there in the morning, but will hardly be room for a chair! Now I see why you all keep getting bigger and bigger greenhouses! Great flowers and tomatoes Rentman. I was given some Coleus cuttings and can't wait to start those. Well my greenhouse is North to South, The house protects it on North and of course Full Sun on South on the longest side. But no changing that now. I pretty much figure I won't be using it in the summer, just to overwinter plants. Here is the problem. The more plants you start, the more room you need in your greenhouse the next year, unless they survive in the ground. I probably will have to plant and then take cuttings before frost sets in.
