Since we move here in 2003 we've wanted to build a greenhouse to help facilitate our gardening endeavors but as you all know so well, time, energy and money always seem to play a factor in our progress. We decided that we should have a "practice greenhouse" before we make the decision to build a "real greenhouse". We bought a reasonably priced greenhouse kit as a compromise. The kit came with a gazillion little pieces but it was reasonable easy to assemble within a few hours. Next we made greenhouse tables from 1 x 6 x 6 lumber.
So far we just love it. Every year the farm supply stores put out the veggie plants way too early for the season. If we buy them early, they are in terrible shape by time they've spent weeks indoors without enough sunshine. If we wait to buy them when the garden and the weather are both ready to plant them, then the selection is very poor. We moved a number of our house plants in the greenhoue right away. Also it gives us a place to set up seed trays to germinate our own veggie plants from seeds, as well as giving the seedlings a good start before they are ready for transplanting. Like I said so far, we just love it.
