How did your Planta Greenhouse improve your gardening experience? I am a total novice, but the winds in Half Moon Bay are brutal to us Californians, with winds topping 60 miles an hour on my rooftop terrace. The greenhouse allows me to propagate my figs during the winter using heaters and fans. With the proper lighting, the fig trees think it's spring. As for avocados, I’m just learning about them; they are a little mysterious to me.

What type of upgrades have you done? Tell us about your most innovative DIY solutions added to your greenhouse. I’ve had my Planta Greenhouse for two seasons and love it. Building it in my location was a challenge due to limited space, 113" wide on my rooftop terrace of a three-story home on the beach in Half Moon Bay. We had to reduce the width, which changed the shape. We adjusted all the various support members and started erecting it as directed. The only issue was getting the sides down to attach the band that held the PVC sheets. After a day or two of thinking, we got it perfect.

What's your favorite thing about your Planta Greenhouse? I’m a stroke survivor, and my greenhouse gives me a great space to unwind and relax.
