I don't think I have any photos but it was easy. Bring boards off of a south slanting roof out as far as you can before getting to the height you need to stop at. We stopped at 6 feet which was about 6' out from the wall of the house. Put vertical posts in the ground so they are 6' our of the ground, and attach to those coming off the roof. We put boards at the bottom from one to the next all the way around. So we had 3 boards coming off the slanted roof, 3 boards holding those up and then the base boards, which attached the vertical boards adding stability. Plastic over the top and down the sides. The one side had the plastic cut up the middle so we could raise it if it got to hot. I then hung a pet heater from one of the top boards. This was the kind of ceramic heater you buy in a feed and grain store, for chickens. You plug in the heater on cold nights or days. This all worked so much better than we ever expected. I would not do it if the area was in full view of the street, it wasn't real pretty just highly functional. It was not in view of the neighbors. I did keep some plants in there that needed the protection from cold, other than the seedlings I started.

Speaking of tarp on a metal frame, one year my husband took boards coming off of a slanting roof, with posts holding them up. We covered it in thick plastic bought with a Joann's coupon. I put some nursery tables in there. It was a perfect greenhouse and I started lots of vegetable seedlings in there for 3-4 year before it began to get tacky and we took it down. We may put it up again it was so effective. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Chad Cox via pbs <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> > To: pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net > Cc: Chad Cox <clcox@ucdavis.edu> > Sent: Mon, Jan 4, 2021 4:06 pm > Subject: [pbs] New Years flower count > > I’m not sure if it’s cheating to show plants in my greenhouse?
