What made you get a Planta Greenhouse?
We live in a high desert climate with hot dry summers, cold nights, and longer cold spring/winters. While we knew our greenhouse would be helpful in summer for growing warmer crops, it felt more of a gamble to us to grow through the winter. Nonetheless, we planted and seeded cold weather crops (lettuces, brassicas) in the early fall in hopes that we might overwinter without any additional heating and have early spring greens when it is still too cold to grow outside uncovered. It was a success! Once the days became longer, our greens really took off. We were pleasantly surprised to have plenty of greens in early winter, and it felt very easy with minimal watering (maybe every 2 weeks?). Just having the frost-free growing area is truly so beneficial for the plants.
