The greenhouse seems to be working
The first test crops in the greenhouse are doing well, possibly too well – we’re eating lettuce every day to keep up with production (not that it’s a bad thing). The spinach and broccoli are doing great too, and we’ve just planted out a bunch of tomato, eggplant and chilli plants.
In the middle row are some blueberry plants and a tray of rosemary cuttings from the last pruning.

Do you get much wind out there?
here in wellington we’d benefit from a greenhouse, but I haven’t seen any that look likely to survive the wind and the occasional late hail storm (right into December).

We get more than our fair share up here. When the forecast is for gale-force winds in the Wairarapa we cop the 120km/h winds. We have the greenhouse pinned down with about 20 30cm pegs made from re-bar and only once has it looked like it was working them out of the ground in a big storm.
The greenhouse is a Fit-Lock by W A Coppins – they do a bunch of different sizes and we’ve been really happy with the performance of ours (had it 7 years and brought it with us from Auckland).
