SIMPLE GARDENING BENCH

BUILD A GREENHOUSE EXTEND YOUR GROWING SEASON BY MONTHS!

Here in the Upper Midwest, the gardening season is short, typically May through September. By building a greenhouse, H we can harness the sun's rays to let plants thrive as early as March and extend harvest into late fall. A greenhouse is also a great place to store less hardy plants during harsh winters. Even if you live in a more temperate region, a greenhouse will create a perfect climate for plants, protecting them from temperature swings, storms and pests. We built our greenhouse from cedar, which weathers beautifully, and polycarbonate sheets, which diffuse the sunlight and give even exposure to all the plants.
