I actually have two rain barrels already on the back of the house...one is just feet from the greenhouse.
I've been contemplating building a moveable greenhouse that I can erect right over the small garden I have growing and then move elsewhere once the weather warms enough that it's not needed. So thank you. This thread has given me lots of ideas.

CJ, you can buy small vinyl greenhouses on frames that are portable and store easily. The prices are fairly good.
Well, yesterday it was 95 degrees with high humidity, I finished the border around the greenhouse. Just got home from Lowes with 2 bags of peat moss to mix with some soil (after I screen the rocks out) to fill it with. I have a few packets of wild flowers I bought from the Vermont Wild Flower Farm last year but never planted I'm going to put in the border. (http://www.vermontwildflowerfarm.com/). Need to transplant my peppers to bigger pots. I still have to get my turnip, acorn squash and beet seeds in. Got them from a new place I am trying (http://dollarseed.com/). Another hot and humid day here in NEPA.

Whoo-wee... I thought we were the only ones with that kind of weather. I have to have several changes of clothes a day, because every time I go outside I come in dripping. Ugh...
Hope your flower/veggies do well!

Thanks! I got everything done I wanted to do today...and, here's a pic of the border around the greenhouse all finished.
Today was not as hot as yesterday...high 80's, but the humidity is high.

Put in an 8 hour day today. Hauled about 20 wheelbarrow loads of soil from my "soil pile" and tried to slope everything so the water will run around the greenhouse and not pool around it. (You can see from the vantage point of the 2nd pic, there is a high rock slope on the left side of the greenhouse. When it rains hard, the water runs down that slope.) Need a good rain to see if I was successful. Put down grass seed, tamped it, and watered.
