Just thought I would try to grow some greens over winter here west of Amarillo Texas,without any heat source,except the sun,if it shines,it warms up to over 80*,even if the temps are freezing outside,I built the greenhouse on a foot and half raised bed,then built raised beds inside the greenhouse.Thought that would give me the best chance of seeds germinating,today is day 5 since seeds have been planted,packages say allow 7 to 14 days before germination occurs.I used a solar pool cover for the inside plastic,and regular greenhouse fabric for the outside plastic cover,hoping to give me a little more heat inside.
