WOW! Absolutely Stunning.
Finally trying that this year.
Have 1/3 the soil planted with Romaine lettuce, and will plant same in other area every two weeks.
Oh, goodie! I hope it works out for you. I had lettuces until December last year.
I have to fill the last one with the seed mix yet, but I’ve got time. I also see some spinach I planted outside failed to germinate, so that needs a re-plant.
Even on 50 degree days now, it’s 80 and above in the greenhouse. Terrific for germination if I remember to keep everything moist. ;)
Slightly different situation for me.
My “greenhouse” is a 4 by 16 ft structure on my south wall.
With low mass.
It yields heat an hour after the sun comes up- no matter the outside temp. I send that into the house.
BTW, I used “4 year” film - that’s lasted 10 years and is just now starting to show degradation!

Very nice! Great idea.
My very first ‘greenhouse’ was at my old farm 30+ years ago. I found pallets and glass sliding door panels in the abandoned barn. I put the pallets on the ground and leaned the glass doors over them at an angle, against the south-facing pole shed wall.
And I pretty much COOKED anything I put in there, LOL! I though having both ends open would be enough airflow and a place for the heat to escape but, NOPE! Rookie mistake. ;)
My mother use to hope she could have ripe tomatoes by the Fourth of July.
My wife has done what may actually be better. She has ripe tomatoes on October 19 and at the current rate may still have them in November. For East Tennessee that is a record.
Ditto pole beans.
My pole beans are still producing, too. It’s crazy! BUT - first freeze for us is later this week - also right on time.

Wiki
“In late-September 2021, the company announced on they will move their headquarters to Maryville, Tennessee in 2023, citing an unfavorable business environment in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.[2]”
I read about that. Good for them and good for TN!
