Hi Steve

Thanks for reminding me about your organic gardening videos I had forgotten about them.  I watched the first two then got sidetracked and didn't watch the other videos.

That series of videos is where I got the idea of growing in pots but the pots he used are huge.  The one showing how to build a greenhouse using PVC is exactly how I was thinking of doing it but I thought I'd build it higher so I could walk through it, I'll have to see once I decide if I'm going to grow in pots on my deck or in a greenhouse.

I think the first step I have to take is decide what I'm going to grow then see what kind of conditions it will grow best in.  My deck has a roof over it but the sun slants in at different times of the day so it really depends on how much sunlight something needs.  If I decide on a greenhouse and covered it with the plastic like in the video the plants wouldn't get sunlight, I was thinking of something like a mesh or a screen material made out of fiberglass that would allow sun to come to the plants.

In my area the nursery people only grow plants in flats from seeds in greenhouses like the one in the video they don't grow large plants in them.  I would think if it was covered with plastic like that it would get way too hot when it's close to 100 degrees here.  You'd have to constantly be watering or the plants would wilt and die.

I've got lots of research to do in a short time.  Got to get everything together before it's time to plant.
