17. Thought about running an electric cord done there...

It’s approximately 120 feet from the main house to the greenhouse, water hoses are enough to get in the way, so it looking like solar for the lighting, heat is interesting. Ventilation is not a problem there are screened windows and with our ordinary “breezes” fresh air will be no problem.

Early/late season heat is challenging, not even trying winter. Gonna experimenty with passive heating. I have a number of 5 gallon buckets filled with water and left to warm in the house they should maintain and radiate heat for at least a couple hours. It’s gonna be worth a try.
The real heat if needed will be from a floor mount propane heater. I used to use one in my work truck years ago, heat exchange is amazing.

“Hinterlands” you make me laugh 😆.
