Hi Charlotte
I think it is a zone 7 or 8. I don't heat the whole green house I
use heating mats , on tables ,70 for cool temp. vegetables and 80
for summer crops i have not turn it off for 10 years, the rest of the
greenhouse [30 by 96 feet] , is unheated I grow spinach, lettuce and
salad mix in it. At night in the winter it is from 28 to 35 deg. same
as out side,but protected from wind and rain,ice and sometimes snow.
All the rest I grow out side in raised beds covered with row cover
mostly for the deer. In late Feb , I will but it all out side it
will be 35 to low 40 something , by then I hope. my customers think
it taste better after some frost has hit it , sweeter
Ernest
