If you have more room and want to have a little bit bigger greenhouse you can.  There are several small greenhouses that are also portable and work in smaller areas than the typical greenhouse.  These can be fastened down by using tie down kits but they do need to be placed on a level surface.  If you get the right sized metal racks for potted plants and a rod for hanging plants you will be amazed at how many plants you will be able to place in this small greenhouse.

It was much easier to put up than I had thought it would be and I have moved it several times so it’s definitely portable.  That first year I had to learn a few things about greenhouses such as the proper temperature in both summer and winter.  You can’t let it gat to hot in the summer or to cold in the winter.  You have to learn how to properly vent greenhouses to get your plants the fresh air they need so you need to plan on taking some time to learn about this type of gardening.

I now have a larger greenhouse and continue to use the little one as well throughout the year and having both is working out really well.  I highly recommend you taking the time to learn how to use a home garden greenhouse and you will quickly see that you have an advantage over those who rely only on the grocery store.

Starting a winter garden can be a nice ritual close to or right after the summer months.  This is also a great time to plant your winter garden, as it allows your seedlings to strengthen and grow before enduring the harsh weather.  Of course, if you are growing in a hobby greenhouse your plants will have more protection from the bitter winter months.

With a home greenhouse, you’ll be able to grow summertime veggies such as tomatoes or squash.  If you are in the elements, you can still grow salad-type treats like broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and carrots, but it’s important to make a cold frame to protect your growing crops.  Items such as kale will endure without protection.  Make sure you add compost and mulch to fertilize.  It’s a challenge with great rewards!

In the winter, I put my plants in there to keep them from the certain death they would incur when the frost hits. It is so handy to have a place specifically for my plants to go that is the perfect environment for them to continue to grow and flourish. Not only is it useful in the winter but also is a great necessity year round.

I use my greenhouse year round, including the summer. My fruits and vegetables thrive in the moist humidity it provides. Can you imagine walking out your back door and picking fresh tomatoes and strawberries? It is really quite a luxury that I enjoy. A greenhouse is a must for a garden enthusiast; I know my life would be quite different if I did not have mine.
