Hobby greenhouse infor worth looking at

[giocactus]

Hello Cactushobbyman,

Your greenhouse is awesome especially with cacti in it, the neat tray with tiny seedlings caught my eye, they are probably some months old - I'm interested do you grow such tiny ones uncovered?

I started them about two months ago. I just sprinkled the seeds over the soil and let them grow. I kept them moist and not covered. Summer days in the greenhouse the temps can reach 115 degrees even with the shade cloth I have on. The temps are dropping and I will take off the shade cloth soon. I live in zone 8. I recheck on the internet, I always thought it was zone 9.

I notice I lost all my pictures and wanted to post some updates. So I'm putting one outside picture and the expansion of my shelves.

Very nice greenhouse and expansion

Where did you find those little chrome shelves? Have seen the 3'/4' ones but not those.

I believe I bought those at Lowes and made a hacksaw conversion. I was looking for some kind of racking system for my seedlings. Jury is still out on whether the seedlings get enough sun.

Oh! I love your GH. Looking at it I just started to make a new plan for rebuilding mine.
