So I sing to my seeds. 

What about it?

Its been nice to get a jump sart on the growing season.  Weve started planting our seed starters to transplant in the spring.  Baby and giant spinich, rainbow chard, different varieties of kale, broccoli, collards, pumpkins, melons, zucchini, lettuce, fennel, borage, and more.  The potatoes and garlic are in the ground and the mini green house is pretty much complete, just needs a few finishing touches.  ?

The mini green house is 5x 20 and made to fit over a rectangular garden bed.  Small, light weight, and sturdy?, each side of the top lifts and can be propped up by a pole.  A fairly simple design, we made this one completely from found and free materials, mostly used wooden pallets and plexiglass from craigslist. 

Here is the almost finished product which has held up to slamming winds and rain the last few days and it stays pretty warm in there. 

You can find the plans for this greenhouse in The Backyard Homestead Mini Farm Guidebook, by John Jeavons.
