THIS CHEAP GREENHOUSE WAS A LIFE SAVER

#cheapgreenhouse #ncfoodforest
I was really happy to have this cheap greenhouse to use when we had a late frost in May, which is really rare in NC. I was able to save a lot of my backup plants by putting them in the greenhouse. I was also able to store fruit trees like figs and a calamondin in it while we were getting cold weather. This helped avoid plant damage. I also use this cheap little greenhouse for starting seeds. It expands my growing area significantly, even though it is small.
This is the greenhouse I have:

How warm does it stay inside

[@justinthewildoutdoors]

It probably only give me 5 degree Fahrenheit added compared to outside. Put it is up against a brick wall so it holds it almost all night.
