Since my addiction uh I mean hobby has grown, so has my need for winter protection. I'm lucky to have a giant grape arbor that was here when I moved in because it made it easier to slap together an even bigger greenhouse for this year. Not only that but I created a GH inside my new GH for the more tropical stuff. We've seen plenty of days of hard frost this year and been down to 28F a couple of times but inside the GH the 'main room' has not gotten below 52F. The other room runs about 10F colder which is good because I want my lychee to get chill units.
The original GH, it is a swing arbor with passion fruit growing over the top during most of the year
with alien invaders
the GH for my Valencia Pride is on the right and the plastic on the left is the new GH
night time with the lights and heater going
looking in through the 'front door', epiphytic cacti on the right, hoyas, salaks, dragon fruit, seedlings straight ahead. Back wall of the main room (GH inside the GH) on the left. Dragon fruit and other epicacti probably don't need to be protected as much next year.
Standing at the very back corner shooting towards the sunshine (main room on L).
peek into the main chamber with star apple, rambutan, pulasan, chempedak, wax jambu, garcinias, etc.
I think I might know why I have so many plants (one reason) one of 2 GH inside the house. Lots of seedlings, sugar apple, black sapote, peppers, flacourtia, lemon leaf, clove, etc.
The other indoor GH, a few of the extra special ones, durians, mangosteens, Juan's pulasan, cashews, marang, acai, velvet tamarind, recent PR plants and others. A few plants were brought in just in case the new outdoor GH completely failed.
cant wait for spring to get here,
