| Dear Mike, I have suffered from Seasonally Affected Depression for as long as I can remember, which is longer than they have had a name for the problem.

I didn't realize however, the affect that this light-spreading quality of the covering would have. The first winter, I began to spend more and more time in the greenhouse. Then, I began to realize that my usual depression was lessened the more I worked in the greenhouse. Since our Pacific Northwest winter weather usually requires fun typhoon regalia to work outside, I had no idea that the available light could be sufficient to lift my spirits. Even on gray days without my overhead lighting on in the greenhouse, the entire inside of the greenhouse seemed to glow, and if you added the additional comfort of the electric heater which more than keeps the greenhouse cozy, well, I wasn't spending much time in my house. It is much like being inside of a fluorescent light tube-with the curved ceiling of my greenhouse overhead like the curve of the round tube -and seemingly surrounded by soft glowing white light.
