Default Re: DIY Greenhouse

-7C is not bad. Similar to here then (Suffolk, UK). I've just got hold of a greenhouse which was 21 feet long, and was being given away for free. All I had to do was dismantle it and pick it up. It came complete with internal fold-away staging as well. The only thing was that the door was bad, so I bought another greenhouse from a local shop which was a greenhouse but only 2 foot deep. I put that on the end without a door, and left out the back panel. So, I can use the door on the 'porch' greenhouse, and walk right through to the main part. Seems a bit odd, but works well. The 'porch' is currently holding a brugmansia that is flowering away like mad, and scenting the entrance, as well as a guava and a few cactus. I don't heat the greenhouse, but have bubble-wrapped it. The bananas are inside in their pots, and the most tender ones are also wrapped in fleece. All seems fine so far.
