. Started about 150 seedlings of toms and butternut squash (from seeds saved) in cups, quart containers and tissue rolls (taped over) in 5 banana boxes this last Wed., many to give away. I used screened soil with some dehydrated manure mixed in.
I Pray they sprout and grow well to the glory of God. I only have a little window space facing South so I will be try to use grown lights for ones I keep. I would like to make a small outdoor greenhouse using clear plastic and wood, but as temps are usually in the 40's at night till May and can go lower (and the ground will not reach 60 till about June), then keeping them warm at night and on cloudy days till about mid-May (the earliest frost-free date here) would be a challenge.
Pray, pot and post!
I post the thread when I can. Sorry if that is not satisfactory, but I do my best. I am not usually available in the mornings.
However, that does not mean that you can’t post whatever you want whenever you want. TIK and I try to check the thread and replay to any questions.
Regarding your green house desire/issue. We find that we often get about a 10 degree difference at night between the warmer greenhouse and outdoor temp. That is improved by using the heat mats which are relatively inexpensive, and zipping up the little greenhouse inside the larger one.

Relatively inexpensive and easy to put together. Shelf is wide enough to use the jump start lighting system. The top could also likely be adapted to attach a grow light.
Best wishes for your success.
