I have a greenhouse, but here in central Texas, it gets too hot in the summer. It's great for protecting plants in the winter unless we have an extended freeze though. A couple years ago, I spent over $400 for propane to keep the temps up so my tropical plants wouldn't die.

I built a hoophouse with raised beds and currently get 2 crops a year from it.

What do you grow in your hoop house? How many days is your growing period in the hoop house?
