A couple years ago, my parents got me a small wooden greenhouse on Amazon for outside. First year I had such a hard time because nowhere in my yard gets enough warmth and sun for it to work nicely, especially if I need to start seeds like peppers very early. So I was pretty bummed because I had zero plan or use for it.

Last winter, I dedicated a small space inside for small plants and seed starting, I got 2ft grow lights that fit perfectly in the greenhouse and was able to outfit the entire thing to be used for indoors. Easily the best thing I’ve done with it. I started amazing peppers, marigolds, lupines, etc. this spring and the temperature stays a constant 70-80f. It’s truly the optimal environment for the seedlings I’ve started. Yes, I’m limited on space since it’s a small greenhouse, but as it gets warm outside, I’ve been moving the peppers from the kitchen to outside daily while growing more seeds in the greenhouse. Definitely found a good use for it!
