I have an idea rattling around in my mind for a semi green house using the retaining wall behind my raised beds some one by two frames and plastic and row covers with hinges at the bottom.

It would be kinda like a cold frame, only taller. The taller side/retaining wall I would just have to raise like a chest freezer, and reach in to harvest stuff. There is an outdoor electric recepticle to plug in and use a light bulb for heat.

I also need to get some straw for mulch.

Remember where the sun is late in the day in January-February. We have great late day sun and reflection from the lake into our little beach house where our plants were started last January. The beach house has windows south and west.
We’re buried in oak, sycamore and other tree leaves and only half are down. I am blowing the leaves into wind rows, then scooping them up with a big trash can, then into the burn barrels. As long as the breeze is light, I can burn safely...
