Now comes the fall season. Sure, you have a lot to do: clean out, get leaves for compost, move plants, flowers and plants...but gardening does not stop. Yes, there still a lot of gardening to do in the fall. Fall has its own unique herbs, flowers and plants. Having your own greenhouse does make a difference.
Our tomatoes are still doing great. Even the different peppers are doing better than in the heat of the summer. (We're in Georgia now, folks). But, just about anyone can still harvest summer squash in the fall and even plant a herb garden.
What do you do if you're a gardener and fall descent on you every year? We move everything to our "greenhouse" which is also our sunroom. It's amazing how, year after year, our plants, flowers, and herbs have survived the fall and winter by just staying in our greenhouse/sunroom.
If you don't have a greenhouse now, you can get all the information about building your own by going to greenhouse made simple where you'll find detailed plans for even the smallest backyard greenhouse and save money.
We've grown a fig tree, boungainvillea plant, avocado tree, trumpet flower...just by moving the small plant/tree from small to bigger pots into our greenhouse from season to season. When these plants/trees/flowers get big enough, we simply put them in the ground where they can survive on their own.
In addition to that, the greeneries of the greenhouse is just pleasant even when the weather outside is not warm. It's amazing how the plants seem to be happy when they get in our greenhouse/sunroom in the fall.
There is no way we could have done that without our own greenhouse. Any serious gardener needs his or her own greenhouse. Check out how to build your own greenhouse inexpensively here: greenhouse plans
