Default The right tray is......?

I use two of those mini green houses to harden off my plants for a week or two before they get planted out. They will work fine as long as you learn how to work with them!

Tie them down well (secure a rope on the ground at one side, run it up over the second or third shelf, then back down the other side). Otherwise on the first windy day your plants will be strewn all over the ground.

If I remember correctly, they will not fit two 1020 trays per shelf. I use foil casserole pans I buy in bulk at Costco as I can fit them on the shelves better than the 1020 trays.

And if you wait too long to unzip and roll up the front flap on a sunny day, you'll cook your seedlings.

And if I pack them up after everything is planted out, I can easily get three to four years out of a plastic cover. If left out all summer, the sun destroys the cover in just one season.
