Thank you Bare foot,
This is the first year in about 30 that I uses a fan to circulates the air/ heat but so far I like it. This is about the 4th year for this greenhouse but my Dad and I had a 32'x45' Greenhouse before I got marred and got my own place.
A fan will make a world of a difference when moving just enough air to cause a breeze over the plant. The breeze will make for a lot stronger, stockier plants.
I will keep posting as the plants progress.

Well no artificial heat needed today in the Greenhouse.
At 12:30 40 outside air temperature and 98/100 greenhouse air temperature. (with the sky clear and the sun shining strong)

I had to open vents and crack the door.

Looking good! I am surprised how much heat you are getting...Think I am going to have to arrange a fan for mine. I can almost smell that dirt! Keep posting your progress- it is helping me forget the 20 inches of snow outside!

I'm in N.E. Ohio and I am glad to see grass. (so tired of snow and ice) but now we have been under a flood watch/ warning now for almost a week and a half now.
Today it is a damp, rainy, cool 39 out side so the heater has been running off and on but as long as the seed grow I will be happy.
