Make your own greenhouse

Damn, I have some envy here. I would love to make this greenhouse; it was made by Instructables user cheft out of old windows from a house being renovated in his neighborhood and then posted as a DIY.

Lord knows that in Philly random windows from teardowns are a dime a dozen, but sadly this is meant to be anchored in a backyard; my roof is not a safe place for anything that can be moved by wind (we’ve lost 1.5 lounge chairs since September).

Maybe someone out in West Philly with a nice big yard can make it. That’s certainly one way to keep the squirrels from eating your eggplant.

Instructables: Greenhouse out of old windows

Speaking of gardens, I checked on my day-old Savage Garden experiment this morning, and there’s some clear results: the self-watering Dixie cups didn’t need watering, the peat pots were very dry.

Self-watering Dixie cups: 1

Peat pots: 0

I will start collecting windows now and I will construct this during the summer, when rowdy high school hallways are but a dim memory – burned away by the sun streaming through the glass OF MY NEW GREENHOUSE.
