i like the shape and rigidity of the windshield washer fluid bottles better
than the flimsier milk bottles but chose to build a heated hoop house.
This is my first year with a "Half hoop house" or lean too variety and although
it's smaller (BUILT STRONGER) it's handling our needs and is easier to control the temperature.

Last years freak storm collapsed the full hoop house which had only shade cloth netting and i could have /should have removed
the netting prior to the storm thinking we'd just get some fluff like 3 inches but instead we got the wettest (10 INCHES) heaviest snow imaginable
and it wasn't braced for a snow load being so late in the season. So i got Schooled big time but as a result i have a more PRACTICAL
and manageable sized green house that's easier to heat. the Tomatoes were two feet tall and flowering when we put them in.
