While the seeds were soaking Jeff and dad began the construction of the greenhouses for this year. They talked about several ideas on how to build them. Eventually they came up with the great idea old using the side supports from last year and then running a 10 foot length of PVC between them in a arch. It is a similar design as last year only smaller and not covering the whole patch. Each of the planting sites will have its own green house. These will be removed as the summer rolls on and the plant expands. We are not going to keep the greenhouses up all year like last year. Last year we would walk in and the patch would be very musty. This may have been a contributing factor in our foaming stump problems. This structure will be covered by Visqueen and the greenhouse will be complete. We just have to assemble the greenhouse on the far side against the fence.
