Note how I brought in more sand to the area leading to the greenhouse. I brought up this sand from the bottomland and shaped it to make a nice ramp to walk right up. I didn't want the sand pressed against the GH base so I put some PT wood against it as you can see in the photo. Anyway this makes a very nice entrance to the greenhouse and also provides a nice sloping drainage.

With these screws in place I have absolutely no fear of losing panels. In fact, I didn't even use all the panel clips that HF included with the GH.

Here's our raised bed. Radishes are germinated.

Some plants and my quartz heater. The black 3 gallon can has sweet potatoes growing in it.

Plants. Mostly crepe myrtle seedlings and a flat of tomato seeds I started early this week.

This is the outlet I was talking about. It works great!

Here's the entrance looking inside. Since I brought the sand up on the outside, and filled the inside with gravel, I really only have about a 2" tall opening there. It's very easy to step over.
