We got a couple more inches here too, and a few flakes are still falling. :-( I too am so sick of winter and am greatly looking forward to spring, whenever it finally arrives. Good luck with your transplants!

It seems to retain heat much better than withstanding cold. There was frost in it the other day when it went from warm one day to cold the next. <br /><br />Today we're getting snow. I'm so over Winter and very ready for Spring. The weather needs to settled down so I can transplant my snapdragons and stock out this week!Br.

I'm not sure where I'll find one, and I probably won't use the greenhouse after May, but it's still something I will try to add. Thanks!

All we can do is observe and learn (and panic occasionally!).

You'll probably have much more luck than me with keeping it warm in the winter, with it being right next to the house. Good luck!Indiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004102653896371835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499733980063503352.post-91108225126142795762018-04-02T06:00:32.899-05:002018-04-02T06:00:32.899-05:00Gardening is a real learning experience in many wa...Gardening is a real learning experience in many ways. Thank you for sharing the challenges that you have faced and overcome with setting up and using your new greenhouse. It will be a satisfying resource in the days to come. Wishing you good, productive times as you garden in the coming months. Meanwhile plants indoors such as your pretty pansies give so much pleasure.

Tonight is the first night we are going to have freezing weather and we have a small heater in place. So far it's kept the house around 50 degrees with wind chills outside in the high twenties. My greenhouse also got to 100 degrees on a sunny day..we open the doors. Will be checking back as we are in a learning curve too..need all the help I can get! Happy Gardening!Soniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585443830973275421noreply@blogger.com
