WhachooSay asked:


I live on the coast. It’s cold. Even in the summer it’s not very warm. I have all these old windows in the basement, huge picture windows, and the like. I’m thinking of using them to wrap around my garden, like prop them against the 100 feet of fencing that’s already surrounding the area. Do you think this would work? The top would be open, so I don’t suppose that would make it like a greenhouse, technically.
Maybe I didn’t explain too well. On flat ground, a large rectangular garden is surrounded by wire fencing. That fencing is 6 feet high. There is a gate on one side so I can get inside the fenced area and water my garden. What I’m imagining is propping up large pieces of glass around the outside of this fence, so that the entire rectangle is surrounded by glass as well as the wire fence. The glass will be maybe 4 feet to 6 feet vertically. I hope that the heat will get trapped inside the garden, at least for a short while.

R L asked:


I have tried before to use items like glass jars as miniature greenhouses to grow plants. However, every time since it was moist inside the “greenhouse,” mold began to grow inside.

My question is regarding a plastic bag greenhouse I constructed to winter my bonsai tree in. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to prevent mold growth inside the greenhouse while still retaining moisture and heat so that the plant will not freeze or dry out.

Thank you for your help.

Stargazer asked:


I have a south facing garden but live in Durham in the north east. I really want to try growing peppers but don’t have a greenhouse. I already have a ‘growhouse’ for my tomatoes but it doesn’t have enough room to grow peppers too. Is it possible to grow peppers in pots on a sunny patio?

My family and I just built a greenhouse that is 12 feet wide and 32 feet long. We want to grow plants to sell. How do we find out what is in high demand and sells well for a good profit. We actually have enough room to put up about 7 more green houses the same size, but I would like to wait until we start selling to build more.

Thanks for your answers!
