Tomatoes & Peppers: Seed-Starting Day, 3 by Gymgirl

I installed this over my tomato bed last evening. It's a Mittleider T-Frame that converts to an in-the-bed greenhouse when necessary.

Either tomorrow or Saturday, I'll finish boxing in the top with 2x4s and screwing 45° PVC couplers to the inside faces of the two long sides. Then, I'll bend 3/4" PVC pipe over the top to make a roof. That'll get covered for sun protection.

The whole thing can then be walled in on 3 sides, wrapping either greenhouse plastic (for the fall - early seedling starts in the bed), shade cloth (spr/summer), or Remay (frost protection in winter) around, and then a piece for a front door.

It's a a labor of love --- love of VEGGIES, LOL!
