Fall/Winter Greenhouse Effort

This will be my first fall/winter to try some plants in my greenhouse. I have some pepper plants outside in pots that I will bring inside before first frost. I started some tomato seed several weeks ago and this is what the plants look like now:

I am curious to see how these will do. I saved seed from my garden tomatoes, and started these to test them. They are Brandwine

Awesome pics, Lakngulf! :D I have an old shed that I would love to convert to a greenhouse. I would just have to remove the tin from the roof and replace it with the clear material. Last time I went to Lowe's and checked the price of that stuff, it was kinda expensive, however.

Yes, the clear plastic (not sure the exact name for it) was not cheap. Got mine from Home Depot, put it on top and on sides where I do not have windows. It has worked well although the green house is on wrong side of building and is among trees. It does ok in winter time when the oak trees shed their leaves.

I put some of the black containers up on a high shelf with hopes the plants would have less difficulty finding sun light. We will see.
