Spent a good bit of time this spring building a hoop house. Folks call them greenhouses, but it's not heated. It's supposed to extend my growing season by a month in the spring & fall. I had some of the PVC & lumber on hand & all the bricks. Spent under $250 on it. Nearly 1/2 of that was the 4 year, 6mil greenhouse plastic. Most of my time & energy was spent amending the soil that went into the raised beds inside. We had night time temps in the 20's last week that killed off some broccoli seedlings that I put in there to see how they'd do. We're supposed to start warming up this weekend. I plan to fill it up soon with broccoli, lettuce, spinach & a couple other cold hardy veggies.
The walkway's a little skewed because when I planted my garlic last fall I wasn't quite sure where the tunnel would end up.
