Nope. Vandal proofed the greenhouse for the winter by taking all the windows out.
Behind it you can see the embankment with the railroad on top and on either side are small canals that freeze over in winter. The rails are on top of a layer of beautiful small rocks, just perfect for throwing.
Not that winter is the only time windows get smashed and sheds broken into, just last week a greenhouse nearer the entrance of the complex had many windows broken so we decided that as soon as the growing season is over, out with our windows.
Some people have chickenwire all around their greenhouse but being so close to the canals we feel it will just make it more of a challenge to show us we can't stop them from damaging our property especially with the easy access the frozen canals create.

The tomato plants are out, they were on the right side all the way up to the apex of the roof, the pepper plants are still in it.

The blueberry bushes are such a pretty colour now.

Coincidence, Ina!! We are just going out to buy more sealant to put another patch on the roof of our g'house - mind you roof is made with corrugated plastic (for safety) and has a few patches already - (wire netting round the g'house but not on top - that will be changed next year when new roof goes on!!

Someone suggested that perhaps birds dropped stones while in flight - msut have been an albatross the size of the stone left lying in the g'house!!  Walkway (old railway line) runs alongside our site too .  Aaah well ....

The blueberry bushes are a beautiful colour - think I may have to find room for one!!

Same thing happened to my shed Ina.. Unfortunatley mine is the first on the site and the little beauties broke the glass, got in and nicked my bestest stainless steel border spade.  Sad thing is that they used this to break in to all the other sheds on the site too. :-[ :'( Glass now taken out and hole boarded up.

I'll bring my own spade and show the little beauties what else can be done with it besides breaking windows, it involves their backsides.
