I got a question for you folks ... my wife loves her garden so much, but when the fall and winter comes to NH, she just looks out the window and gets sad. She stays home to take care of our 2 yr old and spends a lot of time with her in the garden when I'm at work.

So, for next year I plan on making her a small 10 X 12 greenhouse.

So, do any of you have a greenhouse for winter growing? I would like to be able to put in small wood stove at on end to keep it warm all winter (I have TONS of wood available year round).

From what I read the best glazing to use is double walled polycarbonate sheets. I don't think a hoop style would work up here due to the snow load and so I would like to make a wooden frame house.

Any good plans or even kits you know of or have experience with?

Thanks in advance.

Might be some ideas in those books. The author gardens in Maine.

We are talking about getting a sunroom style greenhouse from home depot. It would be about 8 x 12 ft. Our basement patio door would open into it, and it would be like a room addition.

The other option is an enclosed back porch style addition with lots of window and skylights, but that would be bigger, cost more, and take longer to put up.

I grow some stuff in front of the patio doors, now, and use a full spectrum sunlight at sundown, to extend the daylight to summer length. I get a bit down during the winter sometimes, and that helps me.
