Backyard greenhouses
Backyard greenhouses can be used throughout the year for many different purposes. In early spring you can germinate and grow vegetable plants that would otherwise not be ready. In the fall it can be used to store winter vegetable plants.
Backyard greenhouses can be used for plant propagation in the summer. If you do this, place yours in partial shade to minimize heat buildup. If you can't find a partially shaded site, you can use a white cloth or plastic cover to regulate the amount of sunlight that reaches the plants. Also, make sure you choose a level, well-drained plot for the greenhouse.
If the greenhouse will be used for starting transplants or growing plants to maturity, it will need maximum exposure to the sun. It should also be located where air drainage is good; avoid low areas surrounded by woods or buildings. Easy access to running water and electricity is also important.
