Greenhouse underway

Look at the gambrel bones in the winter afternoon light.  This greenhouse is a total surprise and gift from a number of dear people.  What shall I grow?  Perhaps:

Sweet peas?:

Rodale's sweet peas in the corner.

Laughing Dog Farm sweet peas/hoophouse

Shelves covered in galvanized steel or zinc sheets?

Laminated Ikea fabric curtains to cover storage under the shelves??

Stock tank pond to keep humidity up in winter?  Lettuces, spinach, peas, surely.  Start unusual annuals?  See if I can overwinter Salvia divornum?

How exciting! I will anxiously follow to see it to completion.

I used landscape burlap over black plastic to hide my thermal mass barrels -- an idea I borrowed from d. reyne.

I am glad you found this post and blog. Looking at polycarb panels for roof sections and then will wrap the rest in high ml thermal plastic. Hope to try some sweat peas this early spring.
