I can explain how to build one if you wish, greenhouses really are the cats ass.

I heard it's best to use opaque plastic rather than clear. Plants can be burned through clear but not opaque. That's why my folk's neighbor uses a yellowish corrugated fiberglass panel for his walls. As for us my wife got one of those tomato baskets that hang the plant upside down. So far its sprouted a bunch of yellow flowers. Also trying to grow regular right-side up tomato plants and some lettuce. And got some pole beans coming up through the really rocky dirt strip in the back yard.
