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"... Robin Hansen Nursery robin@hansennursery.com In addition to "canyard" (which I'd write "can yard"), our nurseries here have "hoop houses," which I think the British call "poly tunnels." --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus/ _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
