Do you have a greenhouse?
Gerry
They are "work"
Rich howard told me the following-
Bugs.. Once in, never out.. No natural predators (Spray programs must be in place, and aren't cheap)
Rust- He cuts everything that goes into the greenhouse to the crown, and dips in bleach-
Pots- Everything must be potted "mushroom" tables are ineffective for daylilies
Heating- If you want four seasons, You must heat it during the winter to 65 degrees
Fans- You MUST have air movement
So, a greenhouse adds a level of complexity to gardening. I personally am building one for overwintering tender plants, seed starts. I dont know if I will use it for seed setting since I grow nothing in pots, and really don't feel like growing in pots either.
