Article: A whirlwind tour of some gorgeous greenhouses for the home grower and the commercial grower! Into my mailbox come many different advertisements. This time of year, the trade is trying to get us to expand, upgrade or add on. I drool over some of these structures and would like you to see some examples of what is out there. Let me start with http://www.cpenterprise.com. Here you will see pictures of large, high and airy houses with one of the newest options, a retracting roof. This type of roof lets all that damp, stagnant air right out the top. No fans running up the electric bill to exchange the air inside. Efficient cooling on sunny days. This is one of the best innovations in plastic covered greenhouses. Notice the nice high sides on so many of these houses. I forfeit an entire row of tomatoes in our original house because we did not know enough to order higher sides. I don't get many tomatoes off a 3 foot high plant and my back doesn't like being in that space as well. Next time we have to replace the plastic, we will add more pipes to raise the sides up higher. My next stop is http://turnergreenhouses.com/index.html. These are greenhouses for the hobbyist. They are adequate for anyone just wanting to putter around and give a lot of choices of size and equipment. Turner gives good information and advice on how, what and where. Now off to fantasy land. Build a Victorian Conservatory. This beauty is presented with plans for every part of it, from walls to wiring. I showed this to hubby and said I would like this for my personal hideaway and for breeding new plants. I am sad to say he showed no enthusiasm for my idea and muttered something about needing more storage space for the perennials. Go and enjoy this one at http://www.h2othouse.com/ Next on our trip is my favorite hobby greenhouse site. These people are growers. Growers know what you need in a greenhouse because we deal with them everyday. Also, these prices are some of the best I have ever found in this category. Check this out at http://www.littlegreenhouse.com My last stop is the redwood framed greenhouses. Check out these beauties at http://www.sturdi-built.com , keep your napkins ready because you will drool. I have that flower gazebo on my wish list right now. Some of these designs are very unique as you will see. Some are very expensive and some are not expensive at all. Have fun and get your questions ready for me.
