I wish I could get mine to build something like that, but it's a battle to get him to mow the lawn most of the time. Your old greenhouse was incredible too. I've been tempted to invest in a poly-tunnel for my tomatoes.<br /><br /><a href="http://containerdomes.blogspot.com.au/2016/05/solving-manufacturers-storage-and.html" rel="nofollow">Refugia Stein @ Container Domes</a>Refugia Steinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14979078666969916818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2779268887359554414.post-21246516306949001732014-02-13T09:51:42.822-08:002014-02-13T09:51:42.822-08:00Uh, roasted seedlings.

Done that :) I don't use a south-facing window - much too hot - but east-facing seems to be perfect.Linneahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948858387319711099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2779268887359554414.post-32112345639125554572014-02-13T01:16:58.685-08:002014-02-13T01:16:58.685-08:00I have some of those seed-trays, left over from Ol...I have some of those seed-trays, left over from Old House which never got enough sun for a real garden. I tried starting seeds in them here, but misjudged the sun-line and roasted my seedlings.

I'd almost given up and figured I'd have to get it shipped up from California with all that crossing-the-border red tape but I won't have to now. We probably won't get down to building the greenhouse until this summer but I'll definitely post pics and let everyone know how this product performs.Linneahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948858387319711099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2779268887359554414.post-10118602280359392222014-02-10T13:17:49.694-08:002014-02-10T13:17:49.694-08:00No, I've never heard of it but it sounds prett...No, I've never heard of it but it sounds pretty awesome. I googled it. Guess I'll have to try and get my hands on some when I finally get around to building one.

I've been also looking at putting air bubble greenhouse film on the roof and walls of our new greenhouse. It looks pretty impressive and has been used in Manitoba but I can't find any retailers for it in Canada. Ever heard of it? It goes by the name 'SolaWrap Poly Keder' in the US. It was originally produced in Germany and I think that's still where it's made with few suppliers in North America. Supposed to be great for places with harsh climates and I'd love to try it.

It def made a difference in getting a head start on things. I want a green house so bad - and after seeing what your husband built I'm thinking maybe I can do something like that - just a bit smaller. Great post. Looking forward to hearing how the garden goes for you this summer! Nerd Out With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469168229189661157noreply@blogger.com
