Hubby has been working hard on adding a second 6 x 8 GH (GH2) and figuring out how to join them together with a walk-thru. The building is basically up and closed in, but he is ordering some additional parts to finish the "joining". I was able to go ahead and move a bunch of the excess supplies (pots, etc) from GH1 into the new GH2. And then I moved all of my outdoor plants (lemon tree, mulberrys, figs, herbs, jalapeno, etc) into GH1. Added new soil to them first and a dose of good organic fertilizer. I could have waited maybe a week or two, but here it suddenly turns cold and I didn't want to work in the cold. Will just have to watch the temps (mostly 70 daytime right now and in 50's at night - but Wed. we'll have 79).
My ultimate goal (once GH 2 has a walkway) is to move plants that don't require as much warmth into GH2 -- and try to grow some spinach and lettuce in there this winter. GH1 will be kept warmer for the lemon and seedlings. Plan to put screening all down one of the 8' long sides of GH2 and along the door (and then pop the wall panels in when it freezes). We'll see how it works out -- wahoo, hopefully this winter GH season will be better for me than last.
