I would like to second Marge's reply to you on helleborus seedlings. Place
them into the ground to grow them on. You will loose far fewer and get
better results than from pots. I lost many of my seedlings in pots over this
past winter to winter wet. Those in the soil did not suffer the same fate.
The word greenhouse covers a multitude of visions.... what do you have
in mind? A unheated hoophouse 30 X 96 is only $12 to 15 hundred and someone
else puts it up for you..... you provide the pad to place it on......
Vacations cost more than that........
