I think I need a greenhouse! You must heat it to have peppers and tomatoes this time of year.

I think I need a greenhouse! You must heat it to have peppers and tomatoes this time of year.

It is on my deck and well insulated. It is right beside an empty bedroom. I leave the window open into the greenhouse and the bedroom door open. It gets enough heat from the pellet stove that is in the living room that it stays in the low 40°Fs or upper 30°Fs at night. In the daytime if I forget to open the outside door of the greenhouse it will get well over 100°F on a sunny day (which is most of the time).

Came across this article about new veggies & herbs, thought someone might be interested in trying something new:
10-new-vegetables-and-herbs-for-your-garden-this-spring

Neither mouse melon or ground cherry are new.

My opinion is that mouse melon is not worth the effort as I grew them a couple of years ago.
