Anyone doing it?

Not many things will grow at 110°F which is what the temperature is in
mine right now (4:45pm). I am planning to start some tomatoes and
basil outside on the deck in the next few days. When it gets cool
enough I will move them into the greenhouse. I live in North
Carolina.

Oops.... I guess I should have worded it better

Can you grow food in the WINTER months in your green
house?

If yes..... how do you grow stuff in the summer? Cant
you open the green house up entirely to keep heat from
building up?

Please bear with dumb questions....as you can tell I
know NOTHING abt growing food. Nor greenhouses

That all depends on how elaborate of a greenhouse you want to operate. Some
of them have totally controlled environments. For the most part, trying to
do what I think you want to do, you are going to have to learn to do some
canning, some drying, some dehydrating and just generally acting like the
proverbial squirrel and "gather up nuts for the winter".

Yes, you can grow in a greenhouse year round, but you are going to have to
be selective in what you grow, when. And here is the old boogaboo, the old
"what works for others, doesn't mean it will work for you".

I don't know if you have done this yet, but one thing you really should do,
actually two things, is pick the brain of your NEAREST agricultural
extension agent and get in touch with your local or closest Master Gardner
program.
