Greenhouse: Portable Greenhouse, 1 by Kaufmann

This past summer I bought a portable greenhouse to overwinter my potted plants and start spring seedlings.

The photos are in sequence:

I put in a 10-inch base of pecan shells, held in place by salvaged landscape timbers. Drainage is never a problem in this area. I built a bench from 2X4s with 4X4 legs and a wire mesh top. The greenhouse was easily erected in about an hour with a little assistance from my DH, only because I wasn't tall enough to get the plaastic over the hoops alone. Following is the finished product. I have sown seeds around the perimeter to hopefully "soften" it somewhat. We are still at least a couple of weeks from our first frost, but I have several flats of perennials started and they're thriving.
