Hello fellow Farmgirls!
I received for Mothers Day a green vinyl greenhouse! Although I am excited about this, I really dont ghave a clue on how to use it! My son in law put it up 2 days ago, there is a zippered door in the front and a v-sghaped window? in the back! It is warm and muggy inside even my glasses steam up, it was put up in a mostly sunny area.
I am g\oing\ to look online for some clues and/or ideas but I would trust my fellow farmgirls more! So please offer me your ideas and sugg\estions if you would!? Thank you!

Sounds very exciting Sue! Good for you! I do not have a greenhouse so cant offer any tips, but I am sure that one of our knowledgable farmgirl sisters can help you!
Good Luck with it!
Hugs,

warm and muggy is jsut what you need!! I open mine up when it gets really hot in there. I put a thermometer in mine so i can see how warm it is and how high the humidity is. So now just start your seeds and put them in there!! good luck and have fun, gardening is a learn as we grow experience!

16 yrs ago we started out with a 10x10 greenhouse (to grow our garden plants)...2 years after that we started our own family business & have grown to the point we are busting at the seams. We have 4-120ft greenhouses & 1 big 4bay greenhouse that is 140ft in each bay & 9 employees on payroll. This hobby turned into a huge undertaking. We still manage to stay open in the spring only since my hubby & I have other jobs. As Brandee said it's a learn as you grow experience for sure! Have fun with it!
