This will be the first time I'm using a greenhouse. Before I'd grow seedlings to fill my giant yard for the last five or so years inside in my grow room. I've fallen in love with gardening and seed starting so much that I decided to start my own business. This will be my first year selling plants as well, so this is my trial period to see when to start certain plants (I get kinda excited and want to start all the seeds ha ha) and also which ones will be easiest for me. My first sale will be in early May after our frost date being in West Valley City, UT zone 7b. As it's an "experiment" this first sale season, I will be selling plants and pots and such to mostly friends and family to "see how it goes" ha ha ha.
The greenhouse is a VEIKOU 8' x 16' Polycarbonate. It's not a bad little greenhouse for me to learn and improve while starting out. We will be building more shelves since I'm sure it's clear I need more space ha ha! We have it anchored into the ground with rebar and siliconed the panels in place after finding out the hard way from a severe wind storm that rollled through.
The heater is a Palma Greenhouse Heater with Thermostat. Keeps it above 40 when it's the coldest. I also bought a Govee wifi thermostat giving me piece of mind while at my day job. And bought two automatic vent openers which have been lifesavers. They're like magic! Ha ha ha. I also brought out a fan for circulation.
I will be upgrading here and there, installing fans and whatnot eventually. I'm building my business from the ground up with my own money so it will take a while but I'm really loving it. It's been a tiny bit stressful but mostly a lot of fun.
Any questions, comments or suggestions welcomed.
