I tried hoop houses but my primary garden area is subject to some 
fierce winds, and I got tired of picking up pieces of PVC and ripped 
plastic and dead plants. When I expand the garden on the other side 
of the property, where it is much more sheltered, I probably will 
build a couple of greenhouses. One of the companies that makes the 
specialized fittings is not far from me, so it's easy to pick up what 
I need. For now, using hay bales with window panes on top works 
better than anything else.
