Show me your greenhouse in winter!

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

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 😁
