Growing plants in the Rockies Greenhouse gardening at 8500ft

With the current price of vegetables, and after starting to pay $4 per pound for tomatos we decided enough was enough!

Problem then became we live at 8500ft in the mountains, its snowing still in May, and we have many wild animals roaming around….which of course will eat anything we grow, so what do we do??

We realize up the back of the house we live in there is a paved area 6x 8ft, paved, with a water pipe and a electrical outlet… looks mysteriously like a greenhouse was once here…so off we go looking for a solution to the expensive tomotoes.

We found this at Home Depot….

MasterGro by Palram 6 Ft. x 8 Ft. Apex Greenhouse Kit

Model 700531

a strong (well according to the reviews) greenhouse that should withstand the elevation and harsh climate of the mountains, at around $600 delivered it was a bargain.

Delivery is monday, so lets see how we get the thing together!!
