Hey, everybody. It's Joe here. And in this week's encore episode, we're heading back inside the greenhouse for a look at what I learned after my very first year as a greenhouse owner. If you've ever dreamed of having your own greenhouse or perhaps you already have one, but you're curious about someone else's trials and tribulations like mine, this one's for you because I'm sharing the behind-the-scenes

real-world lessons that only show up after a year of living with one. And so we'll talk

about what I wish I'd known before it arrived, like zoning setbacks and permits and how I nearly

poured my greenhouse pad in the wrong spot, which you can't undo once it's done. And you'll hear how I

chose my greenhouse, like aesthetics and airflow and function, and why all that mattered, plus the

add-ons that made the biggest difference from electrical to extra windows and fans. And then I'll

dig into the science and surprises of actually growing in it, how fast seedlings took off,

and the challenges of managing heat and cold, sometimes in the same day, and the fascinating

temperature swings that can completely change how plants grow. And of course, I'll share a few

of the unexpected aha moments, like what happens when you don't debug plants before moving them in for the

winter. So join me for this encore episode because it's packed with greenhouse insights,

mistakes, and success stories to help you plan smarter for your own growing season. I hope you

enjoy. Hi, everybody. This is Joe Lample, the Joe Behind Joe Gardner, and welcome to the Joe Gardner Show.

Today's episode is a follow-up from two shows ago when I interviewed Sherry George, my mentor for

greenhouse gardening and growing. And it was such a interesting and information-packed episode on

the things that you need to know if you are ever

going to have a greenhouse or think that you might want one, what are the considerations for

what greenhouse do you buy? And when you do, what do you need to know? So she really covered

the basics and she's been at it for years. But now I've been at it for one year. I just

passed my 12-month anniversary

as a first-year greenhouse owner and grower in January, and it has been an eye-opener. And I've

learned so much. And so as I mentioned in that episode, today I wanted to share with you my
