GROWING IN A COOL GREENHOUSE
In the cool house the night temperature in winter should be about 55 to 60 degrees with the usual rise of 10 degrees during the day. In this temperature range, you can grow a variety of plants including all of those suggested for the unheated greenhouse as well as the plants in the following list, and your heating costs will be far less than those in a warm house of the same size.
