Yeah I know what you mean! I’m definitely going to have to use my garage for sure! I wish I had a green house as well! I’ve got a few options for this coming spring/summer! Plus who knows if all my plants will survive this winter! Yeah I am so not looking forward to the spring when I have to drag out all the plants again! However, the difference with doing all this work in the spring time would be easier because I get to watch the plants grow and look like a beautiful tropical paradise right here in Ohio! So at least there’s that!
If you do opt for a greenhouse down the road, you might look into making it subterranean. There's a guy in like a Zone 3 or something growing oranges this way. It never gets below 52F underground, and the sun shining in warms it up and of course, provides sunlight.

My garage is brick and windowless, so it would be the perfect spot for a grow op- I mean, plant room. There's some Vietnamese behind me that dug out their entire crawlspace eight feet deep and have a huge commercial growing operation under the house. The lights were so bright that I saw it leaking around the old access panel, and I could see heads moving around at ground level through those cracks. Not my typical area of focus, but I made a report and submitted it to my "friends," and they surveyed it a couple times to visually confirm everything. We thought we had a really good bust too. Turns out they use the house as a "church," and grow "medicinal herbs" underneath. We still have no idea how they got all of that dirt out of there without my seeing it done. It had to take months to dig that thing out and reinforce the footers. Only thing we can guess is they did all that work while adding a small addition, which means it had been going on for years before I happened to see it glowing at 2A.
