Hello

I'm used to garden as a kid with my mother but otherwise I'd consider myself a beginner gardener. Since buying our house in Northern NJ I've been wanting to start a garden. However we have pretty limited room in our backyard and plenty of deer/rabbits/etc. So while too late for this year (maybe), I was considering a greenhouse to both extend our growing season and keep vermin out. Our house faces easterly so the sun in our yard isn't perfect but I think we can get enough sun to keep things warm with a greenhouse. I'm mostly looking to grow typical things, tomatoes, peppers, some herbs, maybe a few lettuces.

I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to get started. I was looking at a Harbor Freight greenhouse but then as I was researching it I started coming to terms with the fact buying/building it are actually the easy part. It looks like auto vents, proper flooring, fans, heaters, water, and benches are all potentially needed as well. So now I'm hitting some analysis paralysis and was looking for a simple getting started guide.

Thanks
