The greenhouse plants are seeded into planters made from recycled rain gutters. Above is pictured an attempt to suspend the gutters using chain and double end bolt snap hooks. It seems to be working so the plan will be to hang more of the planters. The multiple thermometers were recently added to allow for greater monitoring of the temperatures in the greenhouse. Near the bottom of the glazing it was nearly 20 degrees cooler than along the north wall or in the suspended planter. It will be interesting to scatter the thermometers around learning the greenhouse's hot spots and cool spots and where are the best places to put the planters in the different seasons of the winter.

When this picture was taken it was single digits above zero outside and partly cloudy. Earlier it had been sunny and this thermometer was reading 85 degrees.
