My new greenhouse. At least the 5 boxes were delivered yesterday
morning at 8:00. My husband spent the morning looking at the video
and getting wood for the base. The concrete was poured last week. I
got a large one from Costco. One of my sons is coming down tomorrow
to help. I can hardly wait.

My broccoli, rapini and lettuce will be very grateful.

Absolutely. I am taking pictures at each interval. Just so I can
bore the world with them.

lol I think I already bored the world with my greenhouse jpegs...
Mine are just 8x8 popups but they are working OH so well and were within
both my financial and time budget.

It sounds like you are putting up a "real" greenhouse. :-)
Not like my cheepies.

You can see the passion vine growing over the roof of the one in the
middle. That one is mostly for cactus propagation:

The one on the left is my seed starter for now.....

They are all closed up for cold weather here. There is a door on either
side that is also screened and the plastic doors wrap back and secure.
They are really just glorified plastic tents, but well designed and
remarkably sturdy. There are also 4 screened vents/windows on either
side.

They also have a 3 year warantee.

Do you heat those pop-up greenhouses (I've never used a greenhouse)?
Thanks for the pictures, by the way. I think you just gave me the idea
I was searching for, if I can find a place to buy them around here!

We just put a clip on lamp in them during the winter to prevent
freezing... The greenhouses never dropped much below 50 degrees using a
single 100 watt bulb.

They are $260.00 each and that includes delivery. I'm wishing I could
somehow manage to get a contract to sell those things around here. :-)
So far, I've only been able to find them on line. Here is the URL:

reamhouse.htm?E+scstore

Once I discovered these, I did a _lot_ of searching on line for
"portable greenhouses" and this really was the best deal for the size.

I'm still going to envy cook her greenhouse tho'. G But, these really
are working very well, and can be taken down in the summer if you wish...

Somehow, spending time in your own greenhouse would have to be good for the
soul. Sounds very neat.

Sounds good. Where are you located? Any thoughts on
how much this will increase your growing time per year?

Also please feel free to update here regarding your
assessment of the particular brand, design, etc.

Here is the URL at Costco for the greenhouse.
http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product...nav=&prodid=77

It comes with just about everything you could want to have in the
greenhouse. My husband got the wooden base and the aluminum frame
done by early afternoon Friday (rained on Thursday.) My son arrived
about 3 PM. By 6 PM they had 2 walls up. The weather on Saturday was
great. They had most the outside done that day. Yesterday they
finished up the 2 person jobs by noon. I will point out that my
husband has finished a basement, made an extra room from the back
porch, built a storage shed and put vinyl siding on a 2 story house.
My son is in the business of assembling and repairing exercise
equipment so we are talking about knowledge levels here.

I am located in the foothills of Blue Ridge Mountains in North
Carolina (USA.) Saturday it was 56F and sunny. Today it is snowing.
I am hoping to be able to get at least a month head start on my seeds.
I also needed a place to work and put seedlings since there is really
no place in the house. Besides, I have wanted a greenhouse for years.
I am also going to see what I can keep going over the winter.
Hopefully lettuce, tomatoes, some herbs. It is all a big experiment
this year and I am getting a late start.

Guess I will have to go out and hold things while my husband finishes
with the pop rivets.
