Greenhouses & Garden Structures

Never had a garden before

11 years ago

Hi all.. I just moved to northwest Montana. This will be my first garden and I have so many questions...
1) When can I move my seedlings to the green house?
2) How cold is too cold for night time temp in my green house?
3) How hot is too hot?
4) Can I get sweet cherry trees to grow in my zone?

I have broccoli, peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and zucchini started in the house.. I'd like to plant more but i don't want to over do it for the first time...
I would love it if you all could share some of your wisdom with me..
Thank You All so much
Michelle

If your nighttime low is above freezing, you should be ok. "Too hot" is when you get tired of having to water so frequently, or the plants dry out before you can get to them. It's running out of moisture that kills them, and of course that happens faster when it's hot.

Mama, I would really really suggest you search your local extention service for your climate to get some excellent and free help. They will give you excellent advise and help you. Good luck.
