@weedwhacker you are probably right in that those veggies might do better outside. We have tons of deer and they eat everything in sight, so that's a challenge too. I am terrified of snakes -- so I'd hoped to enjoy "gardening in the greenhouse" during the winter and avoid those snakes-- kind of scared that they might sneak out for a winter sunning !
This summer I used my finger to pluck a few dry leaves out of the parsley pot that was on a plant stand on the patio -- and lo and behold, a snake stuck its head out ! My husband couldn't believe it -- if there is one in a hundred miles it will find me! And, unlike Michigan where I grew up, we have rattlers, coral snakes, water moccasins, copper heads, and so forth, here. Thus I am very attracted to the idea of winter gardening - inside the greenhouse.
