Moved my indoor window-sill plants to the new greenhouse today. Mint, basil, cocktail tomatoes, butter lettuce, zucchini…and a few othere. I got the irrigation set up and currently trying to decide on the drip. I have to leave to go home to the states for three weeks and I'm terrified leaving them alone. But, I've sort of settled on 30 minutes of drip every 12 hours at 10, or so drops a minute. Temps inside are around 85f with 35% humidity and thats without the door. I'm thinking I'll let the rain sprayers soak the ground for now (twice a day) just to increase humidity. When I get home, I'll put large flat stones in to help retain the heat and finish some sort of door. Stay tuned:)

    Where is Patagonia? Don’t worry, I’ll google it. The greenhouse looks great. Love the use of what you have. Will you enclose those gaps between the wall and the roof later? In hot weather its great ventilation, but in cold weather it will chimney the heat out.

    Lol nice, it looks good. Do you need to rig up a temporary door to keep critters out of the free buffet?

    Do you need a 6 foot tall garden gnome with a wife and two kids to manage that greenhouse by chance?
