Do you have a garden or have a green thumb, but winter cuts your growing season short? Or perhaps you want to grow things that will not survive in your climate naturally. Adding a hobby greenhouse to your backyard or gardening space may be the answer to this problem.
A backyard greenhouse creates a space where you can grow your favorite plants year round. The environment in a backyard greenhouse is a warm and stable space where you can grow things that you may not have the opportunity to do outside the greenhouse.
A backyard greenhouse may be an outlet of your home, or attached to one of the outside walls of your house for easy access. A greenhouse may also be a freestanding building away from your home, out in the garden or backyard. There are advantages and disadvantages to each of these options.
An attached greenhouse uses your home as a weight bearing wall, so the walls on the greenhouse don’t need to hold all of the weight of the structure. These are often the least expensive of the backyard greenhouse options. The one downside to an attached greenhouse is that sunlight will be limited within the greenhouse, given that there will only be three glass greenhouse walls instead of four.
Freestanding greenhouses are an excellent option for a greenhouse structure because they can be built and placed anywhere on the property that can fit them. These greenhouses can potentially provide four sides for sunlight to access the growing space inside if placed in the right location. Freestanding greenhouses tend to cost a bit more to build than the attached versions of greenhouses do, to build as well as to maintain.

We are waiting for whatever the storm is going to give us. It is cold and “raw” outside. Despite the ups and down of temperatures, the daffodils are sending up lots and lots of shoots. Both the ones planted outdoors and the ones planted indoors. Can’t wait to start sowing seeds outdoors!
