If you’re serious about gardening, there are numerous benefits to installing a greenhouse in your yard. By allowing you to control their climate and staying warmer than your average house, greenhouses help to extend your growing season, allowing you to start seeds earlier and keep plants producing for longer. They’re also a great place to keep tropical or subtropical plants, which require a warmer, more humid climate to thrive.
There are many types of greenhouses to choose from, including large walk-in models that are the size of sheds (or larger), as well as small zip-open options that merely hold a few plants. To find the best option for you, think about the number and type of plants you’ll be housing, as well as how much money you’re willing to spend.
With these factors in mind, here are the best greenhouses to buy.

Today is “Weather Whiplash” day ... local mets came up with that one. We should be high 60’s (high yesterday was 70!), then rain coming in by 10 tonight, turning to snow by morning - temp drop of 30+ degrees. It won’t get out of the 30’s tomorrow.
This past week started out with highs in the 50’s, got into the 60’s, then 70 yesterday. It was a great time to get in the garden and I did - got all my beds “turned over”. In the fall, I cleaned out my compost bin to make room for new leaves by just dumping the compost on top of all my beds. After this week, the compost is now mixed (somewhat) with the dirt in the beds. It should break down a lot faster.
The other major project has been cutting damaged cedar limbs - not broken off, but broken enough that they won’t hold the weight of the branch so the branches are sagging. I got the pole saw stuck in one branch which required a ladder & hand saw to resolve. Some of the branches were as big around as my lower leg. All got hauled away, then it was on to pine limbs that my brother sawed up for me a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday I spent raking up all the small stuff where the large branches had been. There’s still “trimming” I want to do - anything low enough to swack me in the head while I’m mowing.
Yesterday I noticed an awful lot of feathers around a clump of cedars that looked suspiciously like chicken feathers. I took a trip next door and did a head count .... three chickens when there should have been five. I verified with my SIL that 2 chickens had been killed. I asked what happened (via text) & got no reply so I’m going to guess & say “someone” forgot to shut the coop door at night. I looked at the coop and didn’t see any holes dug under the walls, etc. I am really bummed out ... I get all my eggs from those chickens and now the supply will be greatly reduced.
My little great-nieces got ltheir 4-H lambs yesterday ... “Acorn” & “Persimmon”. I saw a picture of them yesterday & can’t wait to see more “adventures with lambs” pics. They will have the lambs in a 4-H show the end of April. Their mom is a blue ribbon winning sheep handler, so I’m sure the girls will “know their stuff” by show time.
Headed outside to make the most of the great weather today before the snow tomorrow which is how it will go for the next month & a half while we’re on the winter-to-spring roller coaster.
Having up to three cups of coffee a day has a protective effect on heart health!
