I've long thought of cooling a house on the farm by running the irrigation well-water through radiators in the walls, with vents at ceiling and floor; this greenhouse plan shows promise of moderating the cold months (see what an optimist I am, expecting that there will continue to be cold months). Not that I'd give up on heating with the hardly-used wood stove, which I got for free years ago, having a constant supply of free wood from a tree service and a desire to do substantial cooking on it. You know, "Pease porridge in the pot, nine days old". Hmm, I know they're good in beans, but I wonder how corn chicos are in pea soup.
The notion of being able to grow a variety of citrus and tropical fruits is very exciting; besides a greenhouse, this fits with my intent to eventually have a sun-room on the house.
