A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion Landscape trials and triumphs Growing under Glass a new green house!

whoo hoo! my hubby bought me a new green house! its a 6x8 im puttin it up by the shed and their is a silver maple tree on the other side of it but im not worried about the shade cause i only be using it in spring for seedlings and such!! ill post a pic when i can, still have to finish putting it together, the frame and shelves are up! whoo hoo SHELVES! lol i didnt have shelves in my old one, so im excided about the shelves!!!

lucky you! can't wait to see the pictures.

Wow that is so exciting Christy!

Can't wait to see it, I bet you are just thrilled!

I wanna see pictures! My hubby said that is a MUST for me next spring - as we have seedlings growing out of our ears in the house!

Question - since I'm in the good ol North Dakota (still have snow here and in the 20s during the day!), how does a green house work up here? I know it will have enough heat during the day as my folks have a screenhouse they 'wrap' during the winter and right now it gets like 70-80 degrees out there, but how about at night? Do you have to have a space heater or something?

exactly. some use wood stoves to give it a boost at night too.

OH! I'd be so scared that the heater would go out and everything would freeze!

i still havent finished it, lol i can get a pic of the frame lol, i do have a small space heater, gonna run a cord to it, :) ill get a pic of the fram tomarrow, :)

When I lived in Washington State I had a small electric heater than I ran out to the solarium to heat it until we got the electric going out there. It worked real well.

ok heres the frame :) its not gonna be that close to the tree, i still need to get gravel to put down, :)

yea tammy i thought the little heater should be good enough, to keep it warm at nights. they do work good, we keep them, and a karoseen heater for if the furanace breaks down or the eletrics out, we had a few ice/ snow storms when they came in handy. :)

oh man, it wouldn't take much for me to be jealous...

Where did you get yours and how much????

I've been pricing those kinds..

I had found one like that at like Norhtern Tool
and now they don't carry them anymore, by the looks of it..

I found one here, but can't remember if that was the price
I'd seen at the other place or not... Storable Greenhouse

GARDEN STARTER GREENHOUSE
Both are the same price..

thanks! i cant wait till its done!
weezie we have these poeple who come to the fair grounds once a year its just mainly a big tool sale, my hubby saves up and gose to it every year he got it for 100 bucks. lol he kept hinting around they had one there, then when he picked me up from work it was in the back of the truck! :)

we just made our last payment for morashas school field trip, so were hoping we can get gravel for the driveway by the end of the month, hopefuly before all the rain and mud get here! so it should be done soon :)

Well, that is a very goooooooooood deal then!!!
Lucky~Duck!

I have some smaller one's like that...
I really like them..
*(We got ours for an absolute steel!!)*
