Boy, Critter, you're the queen of basil! I don't have much luck with it here... too wet and cool, I think. It seems to get powdery mildew. I'm glad you enjoy the transplanting process. It can be so time consuming and frustrating that some folks just hate it. I would rather transplant than thin, since it seems such a shame to kill little plants.

Robin, Critter is right about paying attention to the light situation where you plan to put your greenhouse. There are pros and cons concerning attaching it to your house, like a solarium. If your greenhouse is not free standing, you can miss light from at least one angle, and in areas that experience heavy winter snows, you want to avoid placing your greenhouse where the snowload will slide off your roof onto it.

As I said, I like the design of our little greenhouse because I get light from all sides and even along the bottom. Our spring light comes in at a low slant, so it works well for seedlings.... my main reason for the greenhouse.
