Default Greenhouse for herbs?

You can, but the leanto h as to be on the south wall, and it will need heat at
night in your zone.

Hi all,

I am very new to all this and have many questions. I looked up my zone and I
am 6B (althought I don't know what this means yet)

I would like to build a small lean-to greenhouse, big enough to walk into,
where I can grow herbs year-round and maybe tomoatoes and peppers. First of
all, can I grow these things year round?

I have been looking at the kits and will start to read up on greenhouses as
soon as I can get to the library. Is it possible to set things up so i don't
have to use an addtional heater? It makes me nervous to use gas or electric
heaters when I am not around.

I would like the set-up to be permanent so I am looking at the glass kits.
They seem to be the same price as ones I've seen that have corrugated
fiberglass. Is there a benefit of one type over another? I am really into
ease-of-maintenance.

Any info is greatly apprecited, Thanks!
