Here are some pictures from the inside of our greenhouse, before we made our first delivery.
 |
| First batch (hardy vegetables & herbs) pre-sale. Includes heirloom Waltham broccoli, Arcadia broccoli, heirloom Snowball cauliflower, Franklin hybrid brussels sprouts, heirloom Copenhagen Market cabbage, sweet basil, marigolds, Florence fennel, fernleaf dill, lemon basil, caraway, Tango hybrid celery, flat-leaf Italian parsley and tiny others that are not yet visible in this photo ... thyme, sweet marjoram, cilantro, sage and tarragon. |

| This is the view from our dining room window - we have an oscillating fan secured to one of the 2x4s for air circulation. My husband installed two screened air vents in the bottom of the greenhouse with flaps that can be opened & closed manually to regulate temperature. We use the brick wall of the apartment for thermal mass. Since installing the greenhouse, it is making a distinct difference in heating our home on cool days. Besides being a micro-environment where we can grow our seedlings, the greenhouse made it unnecessary for us to turn on the furnace during the whole month of April, despite having only 2 or 3 days of full sun and a lot of cool, rainy weather. |
