We are blessed here with a growing season that is both long enough and reliable enough that we don't really need a greenhouse. We do need a sort of cold frame to get things going early enough to set out in mid May, and this is the rig I have developed.

I put a heater inside each one, just to ensure they don't get frosted if the temperature drops. When they get transplanted out of the hoophouses, they are already hardened off, and never show any sign of transplant shock. If you have any suggestions for improvements on these, please do fire away.
Cheers
