Berk Built A Hoop Greenhouse

…aka the poor person’s greenhouse, while I tinkered away taking photos for “documentation.”

Three 10′ long PVC pipes
Six 3′ x 3/8″ metal rebar
One 10′ x 25′ 6 mil plastic sheet

Instructions: 

1. Hammer rebar into earth (about 1 1/2′ deep). Berk spaced them 6′ apart lengthwise and 4 1/2′ apart widthwise.
2. Connect the PVC pipes to make half hoops.
3. Drape plastic over the PVC structure. Shovel dirt onto plastic to hold in place.

Transplanting some peas that we started in the house. The weather is still quite windy and chilly, even with the beating sun, but when we crawled under the greenhouse and it was hot and humid in there:
