Growing Citrus, Figs, and Melons Beyond Utah’s Growing Zone

What do you grow in your greenhouse?
Two dwarf citrus, one dwarf fig, cantaloupe, watermelon, lettuce, spinach, zucchini, tomato, onions, and herbs.

How did this greenhouse change your growing season?
I can grow citrus, and figs in Utah. Watermelons and cantaloupes since the season is so short.

Tomatoes and other vegetables much earlier and from seed. I use black water barrels to preserve heat as seen in the pictures, and will add wind and solar generated electricity at the end of the year for heating.

How was your experience buying from Planta Greenhouses?
It was very good, along with the installation instructions.

What's your favourite thing about your Planta Greenhouse?
I can grow fruits and vegetables outside of my zone, and extend the growing season. I live in Northern Utah at 5000 feet elevation. Short growing season and desert environment. I don't have to fight weeds that much.

What do you want to say to a person considering buying a Planta Greenhouse?

Is this your first greenhouse?

Any other comments?
Not that difficult to assemble. High winds 30 Mph not unusual. It does hardly shake. Steady.
