My greens-growing in the unheated greenhouse is working out really well! (I cover them up at night with the 'top' of the storage bin and take that off in the morning.) I moved the greens to the north side of the greenhouse - they were getting too hot on the south side on sunny days. I have Cherry Tomatoes on the vine, but I'm not certain they're going to make it to ripening. After a cloudy, rainy weekend, all of next week looks sunny again, and we haven't been snowed on yet, so fingers crossed!

Still have plenty of Kale and quite a few 'free' lettuces from the plants I let go to seed. Free Dandelion greens, too. ;)

Hey! 😄 I will be needing Lexan to cover my new greenhouse. Where did you get yours? My greenhouse is small, 8 x 10 feet.
