For part-time growers try a portable, collapsible, greenhouse for easy storage when not in use.

If you do have some experience under your belt don’t snub greenhouse kits. They make year-round, professional gardening simple.

Be sure to research the best greenhouses for your area’s weather. For example, for areas that get a lot of snow you’ll want a slanted roof.

If you are a garden novice and want to pursue greenhouse gardening then it is best to start with a small but expandable greenhouse kit. If you want to start very small, around eight or less plants, then a cold frame is a good choice. You can purchase or build your own with PVC pipe fittings. They are especially beneficial for cold-weather growers as they are stars at temperature regulation.
