Does Anyone in New England have a HFGH ??

18 years ago

With the pricing of the HFGH being what it is it's very tempting to order one. However with all of the issues people have with lack of support, panels blowing off, clips needing replacement I am very leary of getting involved with one of these. I also question the strength of the unit to withstand snow in the northeast.

Is there anyone in the NH MA area that has a HFGH that could shed some light on this. ? Thanks

I used to have an alluminum and glass 8X 10 which I sold a few years back. Very strong construction but it needed to be covered with an inflated poly barrier during the

winter due to the heat loss. When the temps got very cold the door would ice up and freeze along with frost on the inside of the aluminum supports.

pnbrown, sorry to hear you didn't have any luck. I heard of a farmer in Vermont who gets 20 artichokes per plant with Imperial Star! My concern this year is not that it will get too cold; I think I can protect them from frost. I'm concerned that it will stay too warm for them. I guess there's not much I can do about that, but I thought some people might have some "tricks."

Now that's information I'd like to believe, Roxanna, although it makes me nervous that this seedling appeared out of nowhere. Right now it's in a bed that stays pretty moist, but most of my yard runs really dry (well-drained sandy loam) in the summer. I don't know if the dryness would just restrain the growth or would affect the appearance and health of the shrub. I mulch everything well all year and water when necessary but I won't go to extremes for a plant that doesn't like these conditions. Some of the references say the flowers have an unpleasant smell. Do you notice this? I have a neighbor who is supersensitive to odors and would definitely complain if downwind. Claire
