Nice plants! With the size of that greenhouse you can become a serious plant collector.

That's an impressive looking house Hershell. Were you using it commercially at one time? You've got the space for building quite a citrus collection if you want to.

Nice pictures, enjoyed them. I notice you have a weed barrier cover on the soil surface, and the greenhouse has roll down sides. I have thought about roil down sides, but did not know how tight they are. Being in Georgia, your greenhouse is located in a much warmer climate than mine, therefore the tightness of construction is not a crucial as for a greenhouse in Colorado. My greenhouse experiences nighttime temperatures below freezing every single night from mid November until mid March, with temperatures as low as -17F. How tight is the seal between the roil down curtain and the greenhouse wall? Is there ANY outside air leak? Thanks. - Millet (1,118-)

Courig I have Very little space left.

Alan yes this is the last left from when I was a grower. Unfortunately there is only enough space left to let the trees grow and hopefully be able to walk between them.

Thanks Lazz.

Millet the weed barrier is 6 mill black poly with ground cover on top, the ground is mounded so the poly will shed the water when I use the irrigation to heat the GH. The curtains seal relatively good at the top especially if I had used the correct extrusion but I used what I had. Also you can inflate the top and the pockets at the end of the curtains for a tight seal but hear in Georgia I dont need it. I did have the top inflated but I only put one layer on this time.
