The Greenhouse Effect

This is not a story about climate change, at least not the kind that is occurring on a planetary scale. It’s a true account of the author’s successes and failures growing vegetables, semi-tropical fruits and other exotic plants in a free-standing hobby greenhouse located in Ottawa, Canada, where winters are cold and long. The author shares the many lessons learned through his experiences in building and operating a hobby greenhouse as well as a more recently built sunroom attached to his house.
