Each year, we love to fill up our yard with flowering annuals and perennials as well as multiple large vegetable gardens. In the past, we would spend well over $1000 per year on young plants from area greenhouses.
The construction is perfect for Montana as we get high winds and snow loads. The wind has not affected the integrity of the structure and the snow slides off after a few days.
I only got the greenhouse up in August 2024, so I moved all my peppers, lavender, mint, rosemary, oregano, and sage inside to extend my growing season since we get frost as early as September.
This time, we purchased a 26-foot Sigma (we previously had 30-foot models) along with extra polycarbonate panels to build a lean-to greenhouse against our garage.
Herbs like lavender and rosemary survive the winter, a place to grow crops like ashwaghanda, a place for seedlings to harden off, growing lettuce into winter.
