Here is our Year 2 update on our wonderful passive solar greenhouse in Mid Wales in the UK.
The video captures what happened in our 2nd season growing in our greenhouse - which was last year, 2023. It shows what did well, what didn’t, and the conditions throughout the year, along with updates on related matters such as irrigation, pruning of perennial plants, wildlife (the good and the bad), our monthly harvests, and temperature ranges.
The season did include some changes in approach, taking on board what we had learnt in our first growing season in the greenhouse.
