Why are you growing them in a greenhouse when it's summer? They do much

This is in northern California, on the coast, near the Oregon border.
Outside daytime temperature yesterday was 64F at high noon outside,
80F in the greenhouse, with all three vents open. If I was planting
them in the ground I'd need to break through the permafrost with a
pickaxe first... well maybe, not quite, but you get the idea.
