All Your Fault!!!!!

Gotta blame it on someone or something.... and you are all playing with plants and dirt, so good target.

To expand the fledgling herb operation, looking to get a 4 x 4 pop up flower house for early spring. Can put on deck, south face, hugged to house, and is sheltered from most wind. By March don't have much under 25 or so, but then sometimes bad. April iffy, last frost date April 15th. This would not be for basil, tender under 40, but others that can take cool.
After frost gone, put everything in better location take down mini-greenhouse. Come November put it up again to extend season a few weeks.

Perhaps I am just bummed at things going to down time, when could do different.

Thanks for listening

Well, of course dear, if we can't enable each other, why are we here? Your 4'x4' pop-up sounds great. A 100 watt bulb inside on those odd nights in March and April would keep the new plants toasty, and if the mini-greenhouse is on your deck tucked up against the house, an outside extension cord would do the trick. See how easy it is to have your ideas confirmed?
We all have our winter doldrums, but I think you have found a way to alleviate and shorten yours!

Thanks MG! Of course by then I will be looking at the next size up.....

It's good to rest those tools and refresh, ready for next year.

OR.. move to the tropics??
