I've been trying to find some answers on greenhouses. We have such trouble with bugs up here I'm thinking I should build a greenhouse rather than plant in the ground. Could you tell me if you get a lot of bugs in the greenhouse?

Hey Snippy! Nice to see you.

I just got a new greenhouse this year. I have not had terrible times with bugs in my greenhouse yet, being only February but I do notice that everytime I have the door open for very long I have honeybees in there. That's a good thing though.

Hey there, good to see you too. I want the greenhouse in order to avoid the bugs outside!!!

My only experience in vegetable gardening is when I was up north. I used to spray my plants with hot pepper juice to keep the bugs off. Once I got those big ugly green catepillar type slimy bugs, ugh! I called my dad over to get it off. LOL. I hate bugs.

Here I am 30 years later in the South where bugs are plentiful. I want to start a garden but between the bugs, flies and snakes I’m a little hesitant. I’m such a wimp.

I was thinking a greenhouse might reduce my interaction with the “elements”.
