The author strikes me as very knowledgeable about greenhouses. I enjoyed this short and easy read. Plus--I learned a thing or two.▲ The scope of this book is actually more broad than you might think from the title. The author describes in detail the types of greenhouses that one can construct, beginning with the basic frame type--A-frame or Quonset, and discussing options on ventilation, floor, watering, temperature control, etc.▲ Good advice on type and frequency of fertilization and watering.  Excellent point about avoiding watering onto leaves of certain plants.  I bet a lot of people didn't know that.▲ Large section on growing flowers. (Even I knew that you could do that with a greenhouse.)▲ My favorite section was towards the end, where the author suggests a few fruits and vegetables that are often grown in greenhouses.  I honestly had never thought of greenhouses as places to grow tomatoes; I always thought of them as places for orchids, or more exotic plants. I wish he would have spent more time describing more edibles that could be grown in a greenhouse.✔ Nice book--Recommend!♫ A Review by Chris Lawson
