Most people can't afford to have a beautiful greenhouse in their yard. Gardeners need a good way to get a jump start on the growing season, especially in locations with short summers.
When I found this little greenhouse, it was just what I needed. Not only did I use it to begin seedlings, but it works perfectly to hold purchased plants that can't go into the ground until after the last frost date.

Do you have a greenhouse of some kind?
Mushroom growing has always interested me, but soon I will be moving to a place where there are no basements.
Your allotment is quite lovely, and I enjoy your gardening articles.
I enjoyed this article. Where our houses are concerned, Dustytoes, we are in a similar position. At home I have only a yard [though I have an allotment]. In my yard I have a small greenhouse similar to yours. What I find is that my yard is well placed against wind and is a sun trap, so it is good for the greenhouse and my potted plants. Sadly I don't have a basement. If I did it would be used for mushrooms.
My garlic is growing in my fabric raised beds and is doing great. I will use this greenhouse again to let it dry. In Fall I carry the whole greenhouse down into the basement, so I never have to disassemble it.
I've been looking at this exact product as I'm just getting into gardening. A small greenhouse like this looks ideal for a newbie like me as well as for more experienced growers. I love how you use it to dry garlic bulbs too. Very versatile.
I really need to set up a greenhouse this year. This sounds like a good idea.
Thank you for reading it!
Thanks for reading MonisMas.
That's so cool! And creative!
@Ologsinquito thanks for the pin!
@Mike - I planted little bulbs of garlic in Fall. They never get very large, but I do use them. I will be trying to grow more of a variety from seed this year, but I didn't know you could grown garlic from seeds.
@Kathleen - thanks, I love my little deck too.
@ Abby, you don't sound like a gung-ho gardener! ;)
I'm not much of a gardener, but I try. I always have a grand plan to raise tomatoes or okra, plant them, lose interest, and pick whatever manages to survive. Not a very successful strategy. :)
