DaisyI said: Welcome!

If you want to use your patio as a greenhouse, you will have to use double-glaze glass. The polycarbonate will allow all the light you need through but will obscure the view. Its kind of like looking through glazed glass.

If you decide to use your garage, you will need to use grow lights - a LOT of grow lights so when you walk in, you want to put on your sunglasses.


That is what I was afraid of.

Are the grow lights necessary if I don't care about fruit production over the winter? The garage door has windows and apparently enough light gets in that my peppers started to leaf out at the end of December. (It was unusually warm)

If grow lights are required, out of the plants I mentioned above which, if any would not need the lights?

Thanks for the help!
