Greenhouses are sources of continuous throughout-a-year food production. They provide ideal conditions for growing plants for own or commercial use. This book is a guide that shows how to plan, organize resources and build your own greenhouse. It contains a step by step illustrated guide for building small size cold frames, small to large scale PVC greenhouses and glasshouses.

The benefits of a greenhouse are obvious and compelling: relief from winter's darkness; year-found gardening; a weather-proof space for basking and relaxing at any time of year; passive solar heating. But what about the costs? Of construction, of heating, of keeping the whole thing going? The thesis of this book will be that these costs can be minimized with very little sacrifice of the benefits by turning solely to the sun for heat, with no reliance whatsoever on fossil fuels. In it you will find a wonderful range of plants that will indeed bloom in this unlikely time of year.

Fresh veggies, that is. It's only in the modern age of convenient, long-distance transportation that veggies fell out of flavor. No, not a typo. It's fairly common knowledge that creating vegetables that could travel long distance was like creating the perfect Twinkie. Flavor and nutritional value were sacrificed for convenience, to create the ideal packing material...er...packable material. From the 1950's on, most kids grew up with plastic-like veggies that traveled well and tasted like Grandpa's dirty socks, only not as flavorful. If you've picked up this book, however, I probably don't need to convince you that home-grown veggies are not only tasty, they're better for you. I didn't realize how important fresh vegetables were until my health took a nose dive. That's when our family, committed to growing as much of our own food as possible, stepped into the greenhouse world, a world that has provided hours of joy and entertainment along with the fresh produce that helped me regain my health. Greenhouses have inspired me to live a healthier, happier life. They can inspire you, too.
