This is a picture of the completed greenhouse. It took several weekends and hours of hard work digging post holes, building walls, and putting on the plastic. It's finally completed and we now have several trays of vegetables that are growing very quickly: lettuce, onions, greens, chard, kale, and celery to name a few. I figured out almost immediately that the wood-burning stove wasn't going to be enough by itself to keep the greenhouse at a constant temperature, so I bought a kerosene heater that turns on with a thermostat to keep the veggies at the perfect temp. The wood-burning stove does provide a good amount of heat and definitely reduces heating costs on those cold nights.
