Default Zone 3 Greenhouse update

The only thing that I am doing in the greenhouse is SNOW FARMING

I can't seem to figure out how to post the slide show within this post. Any ideas?

looking good!

I was doing the same 2-3 weeks back... unfortunately all snow is gone now, and collecting rain and bringing it inside a GH is not as easy...

When you’re in 40 below weather and it warms up to 10 above it feels like its warm enough to plant tomatoes.

All looks very much like in my Zone 4a. Our smaller greenhouse had been ruined by heavy snow and wind in the middle of February. Need to to be repaired before May othewise 40 tomato plants can become homeless

Andrey,

Do you heat your greenhouses with wood, in a brick stove built in the greenhouse? Just curious, because that's what my Latvian relatives use.

Dee, Unfortunately we have common greenhouses without heating, but I know some people around us who use the same system as you have mentioned in their greenhouses.

But it's more ordinary for us to use a wood-powered brick stove built in our dacha-house. Almost of all of the houses located in our garden community are using such house-heating systems. We have it as well
