My husband is hooking up the electricity now so we can have heat in
the greenhouse tonight. I transplanted my broccoli, rapini and
lettuce today. I hope I never have to transplant 3" tall plants with
only two leaves. I also started tomatoes and herbs today. Think I
will wait a couple of weeks to start peppers and eggplant. I think
most everything else get planted directly outside.

It will be interesting to see how my tomatoes especially do this year.
I am trying "Sun Leaper" this year. I bought some last year at the
farmers market and they were very good. Fairly thick flesh and kept
well.

Exciting isn't it? :-)

Don't forget to share pictures!!!


I will as soon as my husband finished connecting all of the electrical
stuff and I get the trash out. I consider dirt on the floor to be a
normal condition.

Question. Do I need grow lights in the greenhouse? My first guess is
that there is plenty of light for starting seedlings. I am wondering
about keeping some plants going during the winter, especially tomatoes
and herbs. I do love the watering wand.


Hi, I have a hobby greenhouse 6' x 8',installed last year greenhouse.
We shut it down the first part of Nov because I wasn't comfortable
leaving an electric heater going. We installed grow lights that worked
well and were needed once the sun got lower and the days shorter. We
are in zone 6b. I'm getting ready to open the greenhouse back up. The
temps are fine during the day so adding the grow lights add heat during
the night. It will likely be the end of Mar before everything is up and
going full tilt. We found Aug almost too hot so this year will add
shading. The watering wand is great!
