There are lots of plans available to build greenhouses and many are entirely free. But the site you show looks good.

Yes, it's under $40 for the plans, didn't think that was a bad price.

Go for it Cat. Those plans will probably save you many hours of time and several times the cost of the plans. Just knowing you will be constructing a greenhouse that has already been proven will give you peace of mind as well.

I'd not expect to build in 1 weekend, though!!!! I got some ideas from the magazines I found in the library. Others from internet sites & then I did what I thought I really wanted. And a week later, I only have the framework done. But don't think it will blow away!!!!

Yes, I don't expect to have one done in one weekend either. I did purchase it. It does have a lot of good information in it along with some plans.

I bought one from Lowe's for 10$ it blew away once so now I have it very tied down to my porch. I also duct taped it together because it really wasn't sturdy. I have been keeping it open during the summer months because it's just too hot closed. So far it works wonderfully for seed starting. I have heat matts for the winter for it and I will probably be buying a little bit heavier plastic to cover it more in the winter months.

Tell us something about yourself and what you grow.

Thanks Cat! I primarily grow veggies, I seem to kill anything else. Right now I have beans, peas, asparagus, artichokes, onions, sweet taters, squash, zucchini, peppers, maters, rhubarb, garlic, lettuce, carrots, and some herbs for the most part. I've been trying to do an edible landscape by using artichokes and rhubarb as bushes, sweet potatoes/mint as ground cover, and my big veggie garden in the back. I'm still pretty new to gardening so it's very trial and error at the moment.
In my greenhouse I have my 2nd set of beans in there waiting for my peas to be finished and my fall veggies sprouting. That includes my kale, brussel sprouts, cabbage, and onions. This is the first time I've done it this way so I hope I'm doing it right! Last year my brussel sprouts died in the frost so I thought if I started them early they'd do better. I also have a cold frame so I'm hoping I can have lettuce through the winter this winter and my spinach actually survived through the winter in the garden so will definitely be doing that again this year

SCurtis, Sounds Great! You should share some pics of your green house, or any plants you want. We love to see pics!!

Here's my little greenhouse, I just recently started some onions from seed on the bottom tray, cabbage, kale and brussel sprouts are what's starting in most other pots. I have a few more bean plants about to go into the garden. A container of chives. On the corner you can see my little bit of lemongrass I started from a cutting but they got way too long to keep in here. Wish this green house had tray sizing options. And yes if you look closely on the bottom you can see I used white duct tape to keep the entire thing more stable because it really loves to fall apart. And you can also see my string going around keeping it upright. I also have more rope on the back holding it in place as well that you can't see in this picture .

Very nice set up,Scurtis. Ill bet the sun shines through that nice big window on most days?

It's actually a porch and it gets sun from about 8am-1pm and then again from 5 to night. I'm thinking of moving it off the porch so it gets more sun but it's just so nice and accessible on the porch, and easy to tie down.

Duh-insert hits-self-on-head icon. I see the porch rails now.

Hi y'all, I'm 3 yrs new to gardening and just bought my first 3 tier plastic portable greenhouse. I did learn about venting just in time to kill about 50+ sprouts.... I replant my garden at least 3 times before it takes over my life. I need some advice on moss... I purchased moss from a nursery a few weeks ago. Waiting to finish a brick project before planting. However it is not doing well in the greenhouse. Lightly watering every day. It is on the second tier, and I'm leaving the top 1/2 unzipped at all times as right now we are 80degrees at night .... Zone 5/6... HELP

Welcome, @B83. If you don't mind, take a few moments to go into your "Profile" and update your public profile by putting in your location, city, state, and specific USDA zone. Knowing that information will help folks give better information to you.

Welcome @SCurtis and @B83.

I bought one of this plastic mini-greenhouse and use it to house my hoya's.

Okay I bought one of these for under 20$ I'm trying to find information on when I should set it up and what temps should look like before putting seeds in this greenhouse.

What lights did you buy?
