Deebo When using glass as roof panel you might need to put up some shade cloth. The glass will magnify the sun and heat could be too much heat for young seedlings. I always start my seeds inside under lights and them move them into the greenhouse. As of last year I installed shade cloth in part of my greenhouse. It helps because I was watering 2-3 times a day just to keep the plants from burning up.I had to constantly babysit the plants until I got the shade cloth. I even lost some plants before. Having a way to ventilate well will help a lot. I have seen my greenhouse hit 130 degrees here in Ohio with the window and doors open.

Mrs S and I are starting to talk about our garden for this spring. Getting a plan in place etc.
Today I ran across an article about a Heatless Habanero Pepper. NuMex Suave Red or NuMex Suave Orange. Last year my Habanero plant was the king of all plants yield-wise, but the peppers were just too hot to enjoy so I ended up giving them away to a local farm/stand. Anyone have experience with the heatless habaneros?

I'm cannot remember if I tried the heatless habaneros. I'm thinking I did a few years ago. I'm thinking they had a fruity taste but I have tried 2-3 heatless Jalapenos and it was a total disappointment. The heatless jalapenos tasted more like a bell pepper. I was expecting a true jalapeno flavor just with no heat. They were some of the best plants I have ever grew about 40"-48" tall and loaded with peppers. They all went into the compost heap probably 30 lbs or more. You might try the spicy bell pepper from Seedsnsuch.com. They have less kick that a jalapeno.
I cleaned up the forms for my concrete garden panels and put them back together today. One of them warped really badly, to the point that I do not think I will be able to use it. I'll pour the other three tomorrow, but I think I am going to remake the forms. This time I am not going to use framing lumber for them. I have some 3/4" plywood left over from building the kitchen cabinets. I think with a bit of engineering to stiffen it up, I can use that and make forms that are less likely to twist and will be lighter and easier to assemble.

The year I didn't slaughter every plant in my garden I had a couple of habaneros plants and they out produced all my other pepper plants. I made the mistake of adding to my Chili one weekend. I knew they where hot so I didn't a lot. Those things made the chili so hot even I couldn't eat it, and I have a cast iron stomach. I must not have learned my lesson, they are on my plant list this year.
