Default Not really a green house but I got them in 6 weeks early

The first 8 plants went in 4/24/07. The rest a week or so later. I started with 7' post from HD. I also got the bamboo there and the fabric from WM. The first pic is from 4/24. The next is the bamboo frame and then the cover. I used clothes pins to secure it. The last pic is from today. The biggest plants are Marianna's Peace and Polish (Ellis) from Carolyn. The last 2 pics are of some of the fruits from MP amd Polish. Considering where I'm at in Zone 5/6 I think I'm about a month ahead of schedule. I fastened the bamboo to the postw with wire. I actually drilled through the bamboo, threaded the wire and fastened it to the posts. I reinforced them with wire ties. As they are forming a rigid frame the load on the uprights should not be able to pull them inwards. PS the pics may be out of order.
