My new larger portable greenhouse is still considered a small greenhouse. It’s just bigger than what I used to have. I have a small lot in the city. I like my new greenhouse because I can move it around seasonally. When I start my vegetable seeds in the winter, they need maximum sunlight. When I start my pansies in July, they need protection from the heat and brightness of the summer sun. I am always building new garden beds as well so I like the fact that I can move my greenhouse.

Another great thing we did that is different from the norm is the use of rain chains instead of gutters. We have open barrels that catch the water at the bottom of the run and have used the rain water for much of the watering that’s been done this year. I love the way the rain dances down the chain and the fact that we are conserving for our future and that of our children and grand children.
