That's pretty cool, Jon! I am considering something similar for the deck off the kitchen for herbs/lettuce.
6’ x 3’. We got it at the Cincinnati Home show a month or so ago. The company is called vegepod. This is a pic with the greenhouse cover on. It supposed to keep it about 15° warmer than the outside temp. Once it is steadily warmer I will pull it off. It was more than I wanted to pay. They said it was a home show special but they all say that. I think not having to weed and it being at a comfortable height will make it worth it as long as everything grows well. I used Bags of garden soil in it to have good fresh fertilized dirt.
Wheels are available but we did not get them. They were smaller wheels. I figured that if we wanted to make it more mobile I would buy some larger casters so it would roll on grass easier.
Off to a good start. L to R, pickling cucumbers, watermelon, tomatillos, and romaine lettuce. I'll have to transplant the cucs this week. I'm pumped about the tomatillos. I've never grown them before, but enjoy tomatillo salsa, so I'm hoping they thrive in our garden.
Looking good Jesse! I finally stopped today for more potting soil. Tomorrow is transplant day.

Wyatt hasn't received his seeds from school yet, and I'll direct sow the ones for the garden in late May.
Pruned back blackberry shoots and pulled out all dead ones. Had two good hopper full size of grass clippings from the lawn sweeper so I spread around all my plants. Had a few die last year that I replaced with red raspberries to have more of an assortment. Just before this rain that’s coming which is TOO good.
Looks like the dirt showed up today.
I would rate our starter plants at an A- right now. I left them outside on a cold snap about 10 days ago and it affected a few of them. The vertical growth has been slow, but they're all filling out. The big garden will get tilled a couple more times and we should be ready to plant in 3 weeks!
