Greenhouse for Winter



I always wanted a greenhouse.  In Arlington we never got around to having a nice greenhouse.  It was instead a covered enclosed patio that was crumbling and the roof had a hole in it where rain would come through. This one is still missing a window but I have the manufacturer informed and expect they will send us the piece soon and I can just pop it in.

As you can see there are already plants in it and I expect to put in shelves real soon to add even more plant storage and humidity.  The key to a good greenhouse is humidity.  This guy seals up really well and I expect to have it going in full swing in no time.

So far I have about a dozen pots in there although half of them have no plants to speak of.  The one seen in the picture though has green onion, turmeric, pineapple, and the remains of a tomato plant.  I don't expect the tomato plant to bounce back though.  It got in too late after the last freeze to help. I also have an aloe in the back (lots of moisture in there and twice the size as when I bought it). In the middle left another turmeric and day lily pot.  One of such is still up at the front of the house and a good enough size pot that I expect it should be fine.  Winter isn't usually harsh enough to kill, just enough to kill back.

I'm hoping to get some more interesting plants growing in there as well since humidity is one thing I never really got previously so this should be interesting.
