No Greenhouse No Problem

If you have a vehicle on the property that is not being used you have a ready made green house.
On a sunny 45 degree day the inside of a vehicle is probably above 70 degrees.
I have an old jeep cherokee on the farm that I use and it works great.
When it get's hotter outside just crack the windows to keep it from getting too hot.
I take the plants inside at night untill the night temps stay in the upper 50's to 60.

It also makes a good place to dry seeds I dry my sunflower seeds in a old van in the summer!

You can also check a salvage company for used consrtuction material and make a small box out of old glass storm windows.
Since most are in aluminum frames just screw them together and set it out on the lawn in a sunny area.

Cheap and works.

If it get's real hot outside you can move it to a shady area or just slide one of the windows open for ventilation.

Who would of thought?????
