A Backyard Greenhouse to Grow Food In Winter
Tips, Tricks
Building a simple and portable greenhouse can add three months of harvest to your vegetable gardening season. The 6 x 8 foot greenhouse shown in this video is growing 50 beets, 12 Swiss chard plants, weeks and weeks worth of leaf lettuce, 15 kale plants, 40 parsnips, 40 carrots, weeks and weeks worth of spinach. Plant seeds in late December and start harvesting lettuce and spinach leaves in March. It costs about $75.00 in parts to make it. It can be moved for crop rotation and covered with shade cloth or vines for cooler summer growing. http://www.greatriverbooks.com/MoreFoodFromSmallSpacesPage.html http://www.centersquaregardens.com/ Music and video by http://michaelcasebass.com/

Hi Margaret
I am new to this, and bought a green house hubby put together. Thought I would put on my deck and put seeds in things. It gets very hot on deck. I am wondering if I am too late to seed now as its June but we have hot weather until October. I was just going to grow everything in some flat tubs or roasting pans.. what are your thoughts because you said you will plant later too and I am wondering about that..

After posting my first question, I searched and discovered I live in zone 9B, average 25 - 35 degrees F. Is one able to grow squash, asparagus, cabbage in a small green house? Or can you direct me to a more appropriate place for this type of question? Thanks!

Can you grow squash?

What zone are you in? How cold does it get during the winter? I'm in the Great White North (Zone 5) and most winters are horrible with subzero temps and lots of snow.
Thanks

Hello Nicole. The materials cost about $75.00. It more than pays for itself in the first year. Eventually the plastic sheeting needs to be replaced. I've been able to use the same plastic sheeting for two years.
