How did your Planta Greenhouse improve your gardening experience?
The greenhouse allows us to harden off plants without having to move them inside and outside the house in the spring. It has also allowed for the extension of our growing season by a few weeks. The self-opening windows also regulate the heat in the greenhouse and allow insects to escape and not be trapped inside the structure, similar to other portable greenhouses we have had in the past. We are still learning about how to use the space more efficiently.
