Author Message   Xtiand  Posted on Tuesday, June 27, 2006 - 05:54 pm EST :    I bought myself a little greenhouse in late spring made of green plastic tubing with a green/clear mesh plastic cover a bit like a child's Wendy House.It is pegged down with tent pegs and guy ropes. It is excellent except when the wind blows as the staging is part of the frame so when the frame blows the pots are all tipped off onto the floor. I'd like to build a little wooden greenhouse for next year, anyone know where to get plans from?

We put it back together and wired all the tables to the frame and put more cinder blocks around the outside. I bought a replacement for next year. I'm already planning what to start.
