Hi everyone,
This is the first winter for my greenhouse. I would love to see photos of how others have prepared their greenhouses for winter, in terms of insulation, heating, ventilation but also arrangement of plants to best protect them.
Thanks
Show me your greenhouse in winter!

Re: Show me your greenhouse in winter!
I could post a photo of my greenhouse at the moment , but it would be pointless as it is empty - all the plants are now in the conservatory . Saves me having to heat the greenhouse . I have a few items such as Echinocereus which might survive a cold spell , but having looked after them for several years now I`m unwilling to take the risk .
Maybe with the cost of fuel there will be an increased interest in cold tolerant C+S .

We'll you did ask, here are some real time photos, 1 degree Centigrade outside right now. The pics show, outside, two inside enclosures and thermometers outside and inside enclosures. I think the pictures are in reverse order
