In our greenhouse we grow all indeterminate varieties of tomatoes and peppers so they can be trellised up and we grow flowers up middle walk way to add some color.
My greenhouse offers me fresh peppers and tomatoes throughout the summer that i wouldn't get to grow in the Newfoundland climate. In addition, it extends my season and i get so many that i get to enjoy them throughout the long winter in Salsa, fermented recipes and dehydrated.
After a rainy summer like last year, I was able to get a good harvest of tomatoes and peppers in the greenhouse, while my outdoor plants mostly produced rotten fruits.
We overwinter our tropical houseplants that generally stay outside during the spring, summer and fall months. We have lime and lemon trees, dwart palms, as well as we overwinter all of our homegrown herbs in the greenhouse.
Even in minus outside temperatures, on a sunny day the inside of the greenhouse is toasty warm. Last years production maximized my yield and allowed me to automate my watering protocol.
So far for the 3 years I have had this product there has virtually been no maintenance to the actual structure. I can't wait to get back into my greenhouse and start planting this year!
