Chris, 

I've been trying to catch up on old email (I have 740 left to go), and I came 
across this  one.  That is a great idea.  I never thought of anything like 
that.  When do you use this makeshift greenhouse?  What plants do you find do 
well under this setup? 

By the way, will you be going to the Hofstra University Arboretum Flower & 
Garden Show next week?
