Hello! My name is Bethany and I grow things in my rooftop container garden in Chicago, zone 6a. I am by no means an expert, just someone who enjoys sharing my garden journey.
In today’s video, I’m moving my potted plants that I want to survive through the winter into the plastic greenhouse. Last year, my greenhouse blew away, so assuming this one stays in place it will be my first time attempting this. Fingers crossed everything makes it to Spring!

Great video! You inspired me to try overwintering this year in my plastic greenhouse on my back porch (zone 6a Toronto). I planted a tray of Heuchera in August and have another tray of assorted perennial seedlings as well as about 8 pots of tulips and daffodils. Perhaps overkill, but I have lined it with bubble wrap and as the pots are only 10-12 inch thin plastic, each pot in a double layer of bubble wrap. So far, the temperature in the greenhouse is the same as the outside temp but the humidity is very high.
