A few of your daily tasks could include opening or closing vents, putting on or taking off the shade cloth when needed, and inspecting your plants for pests and bug.

Some of your weekly chores will include, basking in the feel of the sunlight, cutting fresh flowers for the dinner centerpiece and gathering new fresh vegetables. Less exciting chores include watering, setting misters, potting new plants, sowing new seeds, cleaning pots or tools as needed.

Monthly gardening and greenhouse care involves potting new plants, cutting fresh vegetables and flowers, reviewing your greenhouse panels to ensure they are intact, washing down panels that seem to a little too dirty and buying new seeds or plants for your greenhouse.

Twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, you should wash down the interior of the greenhouse. You should do this to keep bacteria and mold under control. When you wash the greenhouse down, all you do is use soap and water and spray it down with a hose. This is simple and easy pest and disease control to help your plants and flowers thrive. Continued upkeep and enjoyment of your hobby greenhouse is simple by taking a few tasks and implementing them regularly into your schedule.
