Joanna, how did you attach the bubble wrap into the greenhouse wall and ceiling? I have try with a clear tape and it keep pulling off so I give up for now until someone can help me how.

Thanks so much.

I taped the edges to the frames. It seemed to hold pretty good. I ran a bundgy cord along the peak, so the roof bubble wrap is one piece for both sides

I tired using double sided removable tape last year and it did OK. Some of the panels insisted on coming off regularly and others never budged.

I've got several seeds started now. Most are doing well.

For my tomatoes I will pot up the seedings in a large pot. I put a small amount of soil in the bottom of the pot, just enough for the seedling. As it grows taller and larger I gradually add more soil to the pot until it is completely full and my plants are large enough to plant out. In this way I don't have to disturb the fine tender root by continually up potting them and they grow massive root systems for me.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

I am curious where you purchased your GH? Also where you buy your gal pots and such?
Thanks,

My greenhouse is made by Rion, $2800 shipping and handling included. It also came with a choice of heater or shade for free.

Just to let everyone know, if you need bubble wrap check your USPS store. I bought mine there for 24" wide by 250ft. long $35.00 plus tax.
