I am so excited to be able to have produce all year round.  But we are starting outside this week.  Is a little late to plant but I am sure we can at least start with tomatoes and peppers and plant some pumpkins after May.

Tomorrow the plat is getting plow.  I will post pictures. But here is our greenhouse   Cheer

We still need to tight the plastic, but that is about it.

How hot does your greenhouse get in the summer?

Right now at 2:20 in the afternoon the temperature in my greenhouse is 124F. (central Florida) I have ordered 40% shade cloth from Amazon. It will be here tomorrow. Last summer I put shade cloth on the greenhouse and it worked well. This year that piece is covering the tomatoes. In order to sprout seeds in preparation for the Fall garden, I have to start this month.

About 30 degrees I would say.

down.

However, you can open the sides and doors for air to flow in the summer and also have a fan.

That's really fabulous @Nirmanakaya ! I'm sure Mr. Wonderful wished we had something like that for our yard. But, at 74, maybe it'd be too much to take care of. He's active in the yard all spring, summer and fall - but was discouraged at last years beans and tomato attempts. He just focused on the flowers this year.

Keep us updated with pictures!
