hey pod! Thanks for the warm welcome! Ya I noticed this is a pretty barren forum here, I for sure will check out those others you mentioned!! Yes I noticed the greenhouse gets HOT even when it's in the 60s outside so I wondered how summer would be. I will look into this shade cloth you speak of, I'm guessing it's like a net like thing? What's a shade house?? I'd imagine this is something I could use since we are similar climates? Yes I LOVE it down here it's so green and so much water it's what I've been missing all my life! I'm hoping I didn't start my seedlings too early they are growing fast I already had to transplant some of the seedlings from the planters pots I used they are growing fast!
