Summering my chids outside
Anyone from zone 4 or 5 keep your plants outside. I was planning on building a greenhouse this year but that got nixed till next spring. So instead I would like to put up a little shade house to move everything outside. Ive always grown under lights or on the windowsill so this is new territory for me. I have some pretty big trees around my house so using the porches is kinda out of the question for the high light plants. Id also like to make it look nice and not ghetto up the neighborhood (maybe I should, we just got a new tax reassesment). Im thinking of something with lattice panels and maybe a 15% shade cloth underneath. I don't think the lattice will block enough of the afternoon sun and a heavier shade cloth may make it too dark in there. Ideas? suggestions?
