Jumpstart Your Garden w/ a Greenhouse.

Most yrs, in very early spring or even late winter, we start an inside greenhouse to germinate some of our seeds. This is b/c where we live, the cold lingers on and on and it’s not ideal to plant seeds when the last frost hasn’t passed. In fact, the harsh outside environment may weaken the growth or even kill it. Creating a greenhouse enables the seeds to quickly grow in the best environment possible.
