Hello from idaho

[jellybean]

I'm new here and live in idaho. Gardened in the past but quit for a few years. I'm building a whole new system this year to get back into it. Mainly to fight our bad rocky ground where only weeds grow and my many ducks. Working on raised beds and a greenhouse. I haven't figured out the greenhouse part. I have a metal hoop frame but not sure yet how I'll cover it or set it up, and wether I can leave it up all summer or it will need uncovered. But I'm determined to have a decent weed and duck free garden! The ducks and horses can enjoy the leftovers.

Welcome to TEG, Jellybean!

You may be looking at the same sort of start to a growing season a lot of us TEG gardeners are. I hope we can all figure it out together.

What kind of covering are you thinking about for your hoop house?

Welcome to our group. There are folks in your state/area that should be able to help you a lot.

Hi, glad you found us. There are several good greenhouse threads on here that might be of help. And several folks have greenhouses.

Welcome Jellybean!
Your soil sounds like mine- oh, yeah, we're in the same state! I'm up north between CDA and Sandpoint.
I'm no help with the greenhouse, but getting one is on my wishlist.

I'm thinking a heavy duty tarp covering, not the cheap stuff that will break down and blow away. I need to figure out if there's plants I can grow in it all summer, wether I need to take it down in the summer will make a difference in how I put it up. I've been searching the forums and learning a lot!
