During winter when the sun is lower and the days are shorter, it’s a good idea to recheck the location of your greenhouse, especially mini greenhouses that tend to located where it’s most convenient.

During winter area of the garden may not receive the same amount light, or any direct sunshine at all.

To avoid fungal diseases such as damping off disease and botrytis, relocate mini greenhouses and ventilate daily. Light portable greenhouses are also at risk for tipping over so please secure well and weigh them down.
