I am glad to see this thread as the greenhouse has been on my mind. I have never used mine for anything beyond overwintering tropicals and succulents. It stays too hot in summer for vegetable growth.

Jim, I am not surprised the peppers did quite well. I have noticed they really take off when the summer heat kicks in here so the heat would improve your growing season for peppers. BTW, I may be in the south but cabin fever strikes here too. Green Grin!

Our climate is mild enough that I start seedlings outdoors so don't use it for that either. My current passion in greenhouse is rooting Epis.

A friend walked through it the other day when I wasn't home. (Certainly glad I had it orderly. ) Later he asked what I did with all those plants and I was stumped. Other than work them, what do I do with them? Blinking Confused Blinking

Cuzzx ~ I am in a similar zone and find I've not used the heat this winter at all. Greenhouse temps have dipped so I am cautious on watering. Do your Hibiscus bloom through winter in the greenhouse?

Gina1960 ~ love your jungle. I always think how fortunate you Floridians are to plant tropicals outdoors.

Karen, glad to hear from you. Hurray! I am glad also that you are able to at least go sit and enjoy the greenhouse. Lucky you that it is self sustaining with water and heat. Wishing I was closer to be of some help. Best wishes for recovery and a successful second procedure. Crossing Fingers! Your plants can be replaced, you need to get better!
