my phals are set here temporarily. Don't know yet if they will get too much light here. The rack is mobile and I can add plenty more plants to it. During the summer I had all my seedlings on it.

these are some of the tropicals which will need winter protection. Even after I moved and protected them last year some damage still shows.

Basically this is a storage shed made out of galvanized steel with a poly carb skin. The floor is non-rot pervious with enough space between the boards to let water drain out. I will install an outside skirt around the perimiter to prevent too much cold coming in through the floor.

Wish me luck.
Fred
