Nice to see some plants.

Fine looking project. Also have found hanging a string of of fashion Xmas lights ( non LED ) inside provides a lot of needed heat . Have done this for anything like tomatoes, but for lettuce, carrots, etc, has worked will. Also used two additional layers like you have done. Have found an insulation blanket made for a hot water heater as one extra cover works well. Hope your spring snow storms are about over.

Thanks! More good ideas to think about!

Excited to see if this works cause the cost to heat the whole greenhouse I’m sure wouldn’t be cheap. I hadn’t heard that about tomatoes and being held back but thinking back over the years I can see some validity as some years have been cold June and had bad harvest

We will show them off later in the season so be sure to check it out to see how they perform! Thanks for the comment!

You tube channel (now inactive) One Yard Revolution used to put plants under multiple layers of plastic without heat in the Chicago area and grow though the winter. He said one layer equaled one grow zone gained.

I’ve heard that about laters of plastic, but never really tried it out before (until now).
