I bought a greenhouse. It's just a little thing: 57"w x 29"d x 77"h. It's an exaggeration to call it a "house," since it's really a tent and it's portable. You can click on the picture to see what it looks like.
So does anyone know anything about greenhouse gardening? I live in southern Michigan, which puts me in a temperate Zone 5, with much of the harsh weather mellowed by the Great Lakes (our Winters are very mild, when contrasted with, say, the winters of people in Wisconsin who share our latitude). I don't want to heat the greenhouse artificially, though I will stock it with a few large rocks and a small tub of water (these things release heat throughout the night). I don't hope to grow an entire garden there, just spinach, lettuce, and kale. I would like to jump start peas, tomatoes, and peppers in there as well.
Two of my immediate questions: Will I be able to grow spinach in there year-round, even during the days that have less than ten hours of sunlight? Do these micro-greenhouses lose heat more quickly than a larger greenhouse?
Any suggestions and input are greatly appreciated, either in the comments box or via email (ejscheske@yahoo.com or ericscheske@sturgislawfirm.com). Thanks.
