Foldable Greenhouse setup- Cara Cara orange grown in Connecticut!

[@alfredoutrilla4472]

Nice setup. You should be able to plant in the ground, with your setup.

@@alfredoutrilla4472 I had a cara cara orange in ground for a year, had to dug it out as I’m surrounded by trees and some other roots was choking my orange. Might try to elevate the soils a bit this coming spring.

I am in NJ and got a Brown Satsuma and Meiwa Kumquat in the ground with protection ideas from the Millennial Gardener.

@@rauljimenez8132 I’m planning to do the same this coming spring. I’ll be planting a brown select satsuma in ground 🤞with similar protection to my greenhouse just no heat

@ My setup gets heat from C9 Christmas lights and red bricks around (graft area) them.

Hello I'm in Connecticut as well. Last week the temps dropped in the single digits, how did your plants do ? What kind of plants do you have, I thought I saw a Soursop plant ? Take care

@@GUSGUS1331 hello neighbor! The green house warms up at night and maintains at 45*F. Even though we had very cold days, the sun warmed up my greenhouse to the 70s*F. I recently added incandescent lights and 5 gallon buckets with water, surprisingly this has increased the temp by 5*F during night time. Citrus is thriving, the only pant that has little first damage is my abiu plant (native to South America) but I think it’s due to the fact that leaves were touching the greenhouse plastic. I have 9-10 citrus plants, 1 abiu, about 12 peppers overwintering, 1 rosemary that is not cold hardy, eucalyptus, and some fig cuttings.
