    Default greenhouse covered

    Yesterday afternoon, my family and I covered the greenhouse with plastic. I am cold all the time and was so warm inside that greenhouse when we were done! I have so many tomatoes and green beans still growing that I didn't have the heart to just let the growing season end. I woke up to a "frost warning" in effect. I got the greenhouse covered just in time. I forgot to get a thermometer so I am interested in know how warm it stayed.

    Is there a thermometer that can let you know how high it got and how low it got inside?

    The last temp guage, I bought, was found at Walmart.
    Just something to hang on the wall. Nothing fancy nor high $$$.

    I still would like a green house of some kind. Maybe next year.
    Even a small one would be nice

    as I am reading more about greenhouses, I feel like I have no idea what I am doing. I just got 6mil plastic to cover a wood frame building my husband built before he passed away. I call it a greenhouse and I grow plants in it. Now, I have read about controlling the temperature inside, condensation, heating and fan requirements. I feel very overwhelmed now.
