We spent some time in the seed catalogs last night! Getting excited.

I have had two 6x6 greenhouses in the past. They are the $99 ones from HF, the plastic cover gives up the ghost after one season. We wanted something that might last longer. The location I will use limits the direct wind on it. I never had any issues with the other two blowing away.

I start my plants in a small unit indoors. It is much easier to keep the heat needed for germination. Only after the plants are well established will I take them out to the new green house.

Last time around I got a little excited and started too early. I had tomatoes in June, but I had a lot of big plants with no place to go! This year I will plan my timing better.

Our goals are to get an early jump on the season. And try and pick a ripe tomato after Thanksgiving. Would also like to grow greens year round.

I'll try and post a couple pictures after we get it up and running.
