Hey Everyone,

I have been working on greenhouse plans but I still do not have a idea for one yet. I really want them to be good ones while at the same time I need to make 5 or 6 of them and I would like all of them to be around or under $15.I really need as much info as possible on them. What ones do you like the best??

Thanks everyone!

Martin Its funny that you mention that. I just got one of mine done today. Just needs the plastic. I made a basic box shape style with a slight angle to divert any water that may collect during any rain storms. I also have a flip top with three hinges on it to allow me to get fresh air to the plant. I got the hinges at a bargain outlet store. I used 2x4's and drywall screws. Its strong and It wasn't hard to make. It's big enough that it'll allow the plant to grow during the frost danger periods. The cost associated with it was not much just the price of the 4 2x4's at Home Depot and about 3 dollars for 3 hinges. Hope this can help you out.

I'm having issue with my home computer. I'll have my daughter look into it and get some pics up soon. I'm hoping for a good size pumpkin. Gonna put a statue of St. Michael near the patch. I just wish I had more space. If I had the planting area I have no Doubt I'd get a Monster. Thank You Martin.

St.Michael Kenny?--Sounds like your patch is posessed-Maybe you should get St. Isadore to keep Mike company-I think he's the saint for gardenners

Patron Saint of Law Enforcement. A protector...If St. Michael can protect me them I'll say he can protect the Wallace 1288 and the Oliver 1375 as well as the Rodonis 1068.....Know what I'm sayin. Sometimes the patch is possessed with cumber beetles and squash borers and the occasional powdery mildew.....I'll take all the devine intervention I can...
