Finally got it built & now I can repot the stuff from the seeding trays into bigger pots. YEAH
My new toy
inside. It's 6'X8'
Nice! Does it have a fan for ventilation?
Looks really great! How sturdy is it? And I guess it would be good for hardening off, etc? Or would it be an all-weather thingie in a sheltered spot, in Calgary?
Wow what a great gift!!!
kewl Jo!
Looks like you have lots of room - I'm bringing all my seedlings over. LOL.
growin, No fan, but it has a roof vent pop-up window & the front has a manual loover vent. I haven't installed it yet, but there is another round vent to put on the back wall. Tallulah, It is really sturdy and the panels had info rating them good for -40. I think it is a good quality for what I will use it for. Sure beats the Swingset greenhouse that I put together last year. I put the rubber seal on today all around the panels & just check the temp. It's about 6 degrees outside & inside the greenhouse it's 13 C. I'm heating it with a little propane tent heater. Last year I used the tent heater with the homemade swing greenhouse & only used about 25 lbs, so it didn't cost that much to heat. Jo, I am just starting to transplant all of the stuff into bigger pots. We're making a complete set of bottom row shelve, so I hope there will be room. I noticed Costco is opening their greenhouse April 21. I hope I can fit it all.
So happy for you JB! It is beautiful. IMOHO, the best this is the best change a person can make in her life (in this climate), short of childbirth!
Have a great time. I am about to start the electric heater in mine too, my grow lights are overflowing and more stuff to start.
I bought a llittle portable fan for mine but I don't use it until it gets REALLY hot.

Looks like it can had heavy wet snow. It's sliding off the roof. Inside temp 7.5
That is so rockin'.... Good for you! I totally want to do something like that....
Enjoy yourself...that is such a smart setup...
Lucky lady...keep putting one on my 'wish list' but no one around to read it...have fun playing with your seedlings..
you go girl - i am daily tell ann she has to fire ours up - brought home plugs from the greenhouse yesterday so i need to move the peruvian lilies out also tomato plants are fruiting and need more room
OMG where did that snow come from????
Yes we had a real dump yesterday all within the space of a few hours. I know we needed moisture but this is ridiculous. It is melting now and my thermometer says 20 degrees. Life on the praries.
Tomorrow I WILL get the heater on in my greenhouse as my grow lights are overflowing with cannas, colocasia, other bulbs, various seedlings.....
Theresa
Ow-w-w-w-! I'm so envious!!
Did you build that from scratch or from a kit? If a kit, where did you get it, please?
~m
It was a kit from Costco. On Sale (on-line) in January/February. Zillion pieces & took a while to build. We have had a late spring with cold nights, so it came in handy. I put a little propane heater with 2 heat output options. Also ran a pipe in for fresh air.
My dream, a greenhouse..wonder if someone gave those 2 boys of mine a hint would I find one at my door on Mother's Day...guess not, the list is already a mile long of "I would like" lol
Congrats...am sure you'll enjoy!
Everything is really starting to bush out.
Other side. Need to start move stuff into the garden. the snapdragons should be ok to transplant out now. over 90% of the plants I had started from seed.
Siiiiiiiiiiiiigh - wanna greenhouse!!!!..................................
ah well, 1st the car needs to be gotten, THEN the greenhouse lol
My DH is at a dealership now, looking @ a car lol White - told him it'd get lost in the winter lol
ours was a costco purchase also - but online. it looks quite a bit different probably a different manufacturer. the commonality is the millions of pieces
Yes, it's about a 1/4 of the size of the one you & Ann have, seen it last August or September. I also got it on-line. costco had a sale Jan/Feb.
