Since I live in upstate New York, our growing season is not as long as I wanted it to be. It seems a lot of us enjoy growing their own gardens as it allows us to save money, live healthier and enjoy nature. However, some of us would like to start working outdoors in our garden as a hobby before. In fact, home gardening has increased tremendously in recent years due to commodity and fuel prices escalate. Let's explore my latest venture.

My most recent purchase of a nice freestanding greenhouse. It is a comfortable size for my gardening needs. It is about 5 feet tall, 2 feet wide and about 19 cm deep with 4 shelves. Because I wanted to extend the growing season my plants, I thought it would be a perfect idea. greenhouse is very easy to set up. I actually put a bag of sand on the bottom shelf, in case we had a strong wind coming through the area any time this winter.

I like the fact that it uses very little space out there. It is located nicely on the back of our home. I will not use it until March that it is still too cold in January to try to start the seedlings in it. However, this will allow me to start planting in pots of March and before the thaw in the State of New York because they gave me a jump on spring and save me money to buy established plants in May! I am very excited about what I can enjoy my hobby in the early winter months. Greenhouse should keep my plants warm and comfortable to get them to grow faster.
