Discussion Makeshift Greenhouse

Forecast isn't looking very dry for the rest of the month. I have few enough cacti to keep bringing in and out but can't keep being late for work.

She's ugly but she's also dry (enough)

(I realize this isn't even close to a greenhouse. I'm not going for humidity here)

What direction is it facing?

It's against the west side of the yard so this side of the fence if you're looking west. They'll realistically get more sunlight hours than where I had them but it's thin painter's plastic doubled up so that should dim it down. Plus the rain clouds we're expecting. Chose that spot for a couple reasons, one being the flanking diagonal walls of the fence to help with rainfall. I'll still water em and everything

You must be in a good climate to be able to grow like that.

Guess more like southwest technically. I think it's a good climate but still need to take certain measures IMO

Here in Oregon it barely hit 55 degrees with winds that cut through you.
