Happy Valentine’s Day to Me!

Happy Valentine’s Day to Me!

While we have some “dream greenhouse” ideas for later on down the road …. For this growing season, my wonderful husband built an awesome starter greenhouse for Valentine’s Day!  (Way better than chocolate and diamonds ANY DAY in my book.)

We came up with some plans for something we could afford and that would be large enough for starting our garden seeds and perhaps extending the growing season after summer to keep some lettuce and other greens going for a while… This is what we came up with. Lots of “cattle panel greenhouses” out there. We watched many YouTube videos. Total cost was $200 before the plastic. We ended up with about 2x the plastic we needed – but wanted to spend a bit more on the grade so it would hopefully last a few years at least.

Vents on both ends and will be looking into auto/temp regulated hinges. Pretty cool…
