Q.Mossy (moldy?) Greenhouse

Zone 15102 | Anonymous added on April 25, 2021 | Answered

We bought our house a year and a half ago, with a sunroom that is in terrible shape. I decided to use it as a greenhouse to grow some lettuce indoors. Some of the double panes windows are cracked with yucky stuff in between panes. There was some moss growing on the windows. I cleaned that off and put a dehumidifier inside to keep humidity down. I was wondering if I should be concerned about eating veggies grown in here? I’m going to start flower seeds as well, which is not a problem because we won’t be eating them. What are your thoughts about veggies and herbs?

I am more concerned with your breathing the air than the vegetables and herbs. I suggest calling a contractor and seeing how much it would be to replace the cracked windows. It may not be as much as you think.
