Baymule, if you lived closer, I'd send you home with a load of lumber, a roll of plastic, and a tomato plant. :D I'd make you buy your own duct tape. I use it too often here. :gig

Oh, and @waretrop, that's a beautiful set up you have there! We're hoping to eventually have something similar.

Sent don't you build it instead? Our 12'x16' greenhouse cost us less to build than two of those tiny ones would cost unless you're getting them practically free...

We downsized from a 2500 square foot brick home to a 1500 square foot double wide. There isn't anywhere "inside" to put a seed table. So this tower thing ought to do the trick and I can put it on the porch.

One of my husband's buddies is a carpenter so we made a deal with him last year (barter and trade, not cash!) to build this greenhouse for us:

We changed the orientation of the roof panels to allow for better rain runoff and added a door and shelves. It's working great!



That's awesome!

Nope but I will be watching. We do plan to build one... Someday... But I don't know how far into winter it would actually work for us up here.
