Hi Andrea, is the shade from a structure or an evergreen, or a deciduous tree? Does its shade vary due to seasonal variations in sun path? I have a
greenhouse that got shaded before I got my place by a big maple to the north that reaches over it and shades it in partially in midsummer, and a barn to the south shading partially in the winter. It did not make sense to have a greenhouse with plants there with no more than 3hrs of direct sunlight per day. However its temp ranges worked well as a
chicken and duck house, with a run with more light outside and several
hugel bed gardens for them to rotate through. I have considered trying to grow citrus, tomatoes and peppers in the greenhouse, but that would require supplemental light to get much fruit and that seems inefficient. How much light do you get and what are your max-minimum temperatures in the greenhouse?
