I live in the Midwest US, where we get the full range of weather \& temperatures. My full sun loving plants still grow long in south-facing windows, so I put them outside when I can (no rain, wind, hail, tornadoes in forecast). I end up moving them in \& out of the house a lot, which is getting to be a pain. I’m interested in a (very small) greenhouse to keep them safe while outside—see example below. Does anyone have experience with these? Many thanks!

I’m in nj and I’ve had an 8x12 greenhouse for almost a year now. I’ve found that I need to heat it in the winter and also add a humidifier and some plants still struggle.

Man, that’s a bummer. Maybe I’ll only use it in warmer months. It can get really hot here tho, so it may not be worth it at all. Thanks for the info!
