I remember that topic well! Of course it is a great little Greenhouse. Shoot! It's better than nothing, like me on the other hand. I use a cheap plastic container...

I guess it's good enough for me, I can fit a TON of plants in it, I had it so full last year!
Sibyl there are days I'd love to zip Mark up in there! He'd fit in it too, he's shorter than me....
Loz, You ought to try putting down some black landscape fabric under that greenhouse..
It will give you more heat, earlier.. *so when it's still chilly outside, the warmth from the sun will be absorbed w/the black..*
Still let water thru down to the ground, but will not let weeds grow up~under it and/or let the plants in pots/containers grow their roots down in thru the soil...

That's a good idea, I just don't want to kill the grass underneath though. I wish I had an area where I could put it where it wouldn't matter if the grass died.
By the time I move my seeds outside I've transplanted them into windowbox containers and I get the whole thing full up inside with them, so the roots aren't a problem.....
Just wish I could do the black fabric stuff. If I killed the grass Mark would not be happy. He values that grass more than anything else in the yard.
I've got one of those here too Loz...the grass is his life

If it were up to me I'd have flowerbeds all over, he'd have grass and no flowerbeds.
I think part of it is he was raised in the country with lots of grass and tons of acres of lands...hundreds...so our little patch of grass keeps getting smaller everytime I add a new flowerbed....
