About two months ago now I bought an 8*6 hobby greenhouse. It was on sale and it was all I could afford. So far it has been working out great, I have plans for a heater and most plants are out of it now. Here are some pics.

Setting it up back in April




With some Plants a few days ago.

Looks nice-- what is it made of?

I had a home-made one for years-- we grew a lot of flowering plants back then. It definitly saved us some money on plants and we had a lot of hibiscus which I rooted and gave away.

It is one sheet polycarbonate. And I too have started a lot of flowers in there.

That greenhouse looks great. I am considering one as well, but I have very little room in the yard so I was curious about putting up a temporary one for winter. Do you plan on using it during the colder months? If so, how will you heat it?

I plan on using in the fall and from early spring, I am not sure about using it during the dead of winter. I am just going to see what happens, When i first got the greenhouse we still has frost so I just heated it with a room heater. I am planing on getting a better room heater for it though that has some features that would make it eaiser. But I don't really know what to expect yet, but I will share my knowledge once I get some more experience.
