Dear All,

I think Rodger has raised some excellent points. I don't live in a cold 
climate, but I do have a green house and I start a lot of seeds in my 
greenhouse and move other plants in there I know won't want to be rained on 
as much as they would be outside. The humidity is very high during winter. 
Most years my husband adds plastic over the top to make it more water tight 
which really helps. In addition after having a lot of disease one year when 
we had 30 inches (762mm.) of rain one month I have a fan going all the 
time. I think it really helps. And I open the door on days when it isn't 
raining. Air circulation is so important. Since I have been doing that 
things are much better.
