Jane is correct - canyard should be can yard. Originally nurserymen quite
literally used cans, i.e. on the order of coffee cans which you still see
coffee in. This was before anyone ever came up with all those clever uses
for plastics.

Hoop houses can be a pretty loose term as I and others use "greenhouses" to
refer to hoop houses also. Pure laziness (at least on my part) and the
general public is more familiar with the term "greenhouse"...

In addition to "canyard" (which I'd write "can yard"), our nurseries
here have "hoop houses," which I think the British call "poly tunnels."
