“Say, did anyone try that upside down clothes container as a semi-greenhouse for greens trick that was on here last fall?”

I did! I had greens growing in my (unheated) greenhouse until December 23rd this year using that idea!

I moved a bunch of lettuces and spinach that I had growing indoors out there, today. It was 82 in the greenhouse, and I closed up and covered up everything this afternoon when the temps started to drop. It’s 25 degrees out there right now (I have a remote thermometer hooked up to the greenhouse that I can read in the kitchen) BUT all of the plants are protected by that additional layer of the upside-down storage tub, SO if the cold air doesn’t TOUCH them, they should make it.

This is an experiment for me on the flip-side of growing greens in there into the Fall/Winter.

I’ll report back. I took pictures to post tomorrow. :)

Thanks. No need for pics, just your report of success convinces me to carry through.
