I harvested the last of the tomatoes in November, snow on the roof and all.

Used what they call "passive solar" -

painted 5 gallon (20 litre) pails and filled them with water on the south side of the greenhouse.

They'd soak up the heat from the sun and maintain enough heat for overnight.

No fungi, no bugs whatsoever.

And does that "tree" look "pooped"?

I think not.
