Re: Isabelle's questions

Thanks to Claire and the others who wrote about what to look out for
when planning a greenhouse; the result is, because the proposed location
is far from the house, with no water readily available, we've decided to
do the following:

we have a "veranda" of sorts on the front of our house, which gets the
southern sun; this will get a wood and plastic construction that will
serve as a cold frame, which will have the benefit of being attached to
the building, which should keep it warm enough in early spring, so that
I can put out my dahlias and plants that I grow from seed in early May,
rather than waiting for the frost-free date in early June.

Perhaps that will insure that the dahlias, cosmos, etc., will bloom
before the first fall frost.  Right now they're getting ready to bloom
their heads off.
