All plant people really need a greenhouse.
What did you do in your garden today?

Still in the 30’s at night here and to cold in the daytime. I direct seed my garden. Saturday I will seed peas, radish, spinach…
the cold stuff. If the rain lets up it may get done sooner.

I had one at the cabin in Sequim. Here we have hard winds. So I would need to anker it down and the
Polycarb panels would not last. It would have to be shaped so the snow slides off.
I’ll have to spend time looking.

i got out for a few minutes and moved some gravel and dirt back off the grass from along the road to the holes that the snow plow started and then everyone else helped finish by not driving on the $!# road... *grumble* *idiots* *etc. etc.* [rant deleted]...

Well, we actually thought of doing something like this for a house, when we lived in NM and Arizona , DH worked for Jeff Cooper at gun site.
But today at my age I can’t. And the ground here is close to the Hood Canal, rock, sand and clay, LOTS of rain water.
I wanted to do a small one for a root celler.

I set my first greenhouse into the side of a south-facing hill. 2nd (new area) is right against the house, although I did anchor it so it doesn't move in the wind and hit the house. 3rd is on an elevated porch and it's a cattle panel greenhouse, although it isn't surviving 80 mph winds very well. I need to anchor it better. Each was designed for its location.

I wish we could earth shelter things here. Too much rain and the ground water issue
