How do the lettuce and other greens in the unheated greenhouse survive the cold temperatures?

—The lettuce and other greens are able to survive the cold temperatures due to the protection provided by the unheated greenhouse and the use of flow fans to prevent frost.

Are the tomato and pepper seedlings grown from seeds?

—Yes, the tomato and pepper seedlings are grown from seeds, which were planted about a week ago and have already sprouted.

What is the purpose of the homemade waterers?

—The homemade waterers are used to water the seedlings and ensure they receive a sufficient amount of water to stay hydrated.

Why are the parsley seeds taking longer to sprout?

—Parsley seeds typically take longer to sprout compared to other herbs, so it is normal for them to not be fully sprouted yet.

What is the advantage of using flow fans in the greenhouse?

—Flow fans in the greenhouse keep the air circulating, which prevents the moisture from settling and causing frost, allowing the plants to thrive in low temperatures.
