Greenhouse is up!!

I am so excited and my family and friends would not be interested.. So, I came here to share....

I think dh got tired of all the seed trays sitting in the house and came home with a small greenhouse.. It's 6x8 and 6' tall! It went up quickly... I had several racks from my old greenhouse and they fit perfectly... Now I am off to find all the seeds I saved from last yr....

A greenhouse was way down the "Things to Do" list.. But this one will do wonderfully until we put in a permanent one... Thanks for letting me share... feeling so blessed..

I missed the one I had at my last house. I hope this one will last a few seasons.. Mid-summer, I will take it down and store it-- hoping to extend it's life..

A few things I have learned...lol....the hard way

Just FYI:

Don't put your greenhouse out in the open "to get more sun" it also gets more wind and gets blown away.

Don't put your greenhouse against another building to "shelter" it with the roof slope pointing to that building. Leave a few feet between them for snow to fall to the ground. Snow builds up between the buildings and collapses your roof.

Harbor Freight loves me because I have bought a couple extra greenhouses for extra parts due to my mistakes, dont do the same as me....lol
