What a great thread, great pictures, wonderful looking figs, fig tree, cuttings and I love your greenhouse! Thanks, you provided a little virtual oasis (and boy can we use it, Philadelphia is even chillier than usual.)


Thanks Donna,

I see  everyone getting  hit hard with the current blast of winter.  We are very lucky here.  It has been mild.

My S.O. built my greenhouse  a couple of years ago.  Here are a couple of pictures as it was going up and at completion.   I now have multiple shelves in it as well.

It replaced an old broken down greenhouse that was rusting and couldn't be mended.

That's a cool looking greenhouse Shirley.  What size is it?

Keith,

The inside dimensions are 8' X 8' by 11 1/2'. 

Most of the cost was in the end panels, at about 50% of the total cost of about $700.

Thanks Shirley.  I like the shape for wind and snow protection. Can you grow year around in you location?  Here in zone 6 it would be too much to keep warm all year.  I do use some low tunnels (about 40" tall), as season extenders that are the dome shape like your greenhouse. 

I haven't, but I'm sure I can for some thing. 
I am getting ready to start some seeds started soon and they will be going in the greenhouse.

I envy you.  It's still way too cold for me start seeds except in a heated greenhouse.  We are at least a month away here for indoor seed starting except for broccoli and spinach to go under the low tunnel in a month or so.  Good luck and I hope you post some progress reports and pics. 


The last of the requested packages have been mailed. 

The remaining cuttings are now listed on EBay.

Happy fig growing!!!
I wish you much success.

Please let me know if I missed you.
I would also like to know that you receive them.

Expect your packge on Thurday, Feb 5

Hi All,
Just finished cutting up a bunch more branches and can offer up more to members, if interested. 

Please see my original post for information.

I love that greenhouse Shirley. Where did you get the plans?

Hi Donna,

Thanks, I love my greenhouse as well. 

There weren't any plans.

Keith, my S.O. just started by  taking measurements of the space where the greenhouse was going.
He then put it on paper, measured and recalculated  what he needed in materials, started putting the pieces together in the shop then  assembled it on site.
