| Looking good but still no harvest except the herb garden.
The almost daily thunderstorms have been nice.
Sprite is doing a bang up job of running off the critters.
No loss to deer/gophers/rabbits/ground hogs so far.

| this is a small greenhouse we bought at a flea market in ga. My wife wants to sell flowers next year. Mainly hebs and potatoe vines. As long as it keeps her out of my hair i could care less. | |

| i would like to build another but plexiglass is super expensive. I honestly wonder if i just built a frame and put clear plastic instead of plexiglass if it would work or if the cold would still kill the plants. | |

| storm windows are cheap!
I got a whole house worth for free from someone who was upgrading.
Just framed in the greenhouse and installed them. 12 x 16 for about $800.
The roof was the expensive part. | |

(crosses fingers and knocks on wood) | Nice setup David. Wish I had space. Heck I wish I didn't have neighbors. | |

The roof was the expensive part. | we are getting ready to build a 8x16. I got windows for $50 storm and regular. Only the storm will be operable though. Taking friday off so my dad and i can frame it up. What did u use for the roofing? I saw they sell clear plastic roofing but it is spendy. | |

| I got the smoke plastic... It was about $18.00 a sheet (2' x 12') about 13-14 years ago. It was worth it, though. The fiberglass panels I used in the past, I was replacing every 2-3 years. This stuff is still pliable after this long, and still looks good | |

| greenhouse
started the greenhouse today. Under normal circumstances it would have been done today. However it is so hot u can not stand to be outside all day. I need to locate another storm window 64x32 or use something smaller for the right corner. I also have to make my own door. Hope to be finished by the end of the week or so. Getting kinda spendy.  | |

| I used a storm door that I replaced...It's been fine, just the paint flaking off. But, I'm in that business so I get that kind of stuff free. | |

The Greasy Back beans are fabulous.

nice mess-o-beans every few days now too. Squash is played out.
