Michael, do you need to light your greenhouse at all? Up here I would need lights and heat to grow tomatoes during the fall/winter.

I have a smallish greenhouse that comes in a box. You put it together yourself. About 6 feet long, a bit over 6 feet tall and 4 or 5 feet wide. I'm always amazed at how even a 70 F. day will heat the inside of a greenhouse. I've had to recycle lots of little pots that have melted in there.
