I remember one summer before I had the fence up, a moose came in and ate six almost fully developed cabbages, then had diarrhea in front of my door. I'd never seen moose poop that looked like that. LOL.

The greenhouse gets pretty hot in the afternoon when the sun is shining, up to 120 degrees if I don't open the door. The tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers appreciate the heat.
