Hello all,
I mentioned this before in another thread and while I recieved positive answers they were not what I was looking for.
So here goes again.
I have a couple of plants in half wine barrels on my back patio. There is no other place to move them to as this is the best place inthe backyard.
To the south is my backdoor neighbor and not really a concern as there is an 8 foot hedge and trees blocking his view..least he should climb the fence and peek through.
To the west is my office and trees beyond..this is unfortunate as this blocks the direct sun starting at mid afternoon.
My neighbors to the east are a concern as they have view through the chainlink w/ slats. I would not expect my neighbors would rip me off but someone they know that will see them could.
In addition, I have two 17yo daughters (yes twins..) with lots of friends that come over that if they look out back they will see them (and they have...so security is shot already).
So my intent is to do some damage control by constructing a greenhouse made with pvc and 6 mil polyfilm.
Only needs to last till mid-October.
In addition with the wierd weather we have been having in Nor*Cal I fear early rains and the protection that the greenhouse offers is ideal.
So the goals to achieve are psuedo-stealth and protection from rain in the fall.
Now, I live at 41*N and today it was 113*F with little wind.
I am concerned that the plants will FRY.
I was thinking that only the back (north side) and the sides (east and west) need be covered in film to achive the psuedo stealth leaving the southern exposure un-covered with film.
So what are your thoughts and why if you please....
There is coffee and danish on the table...talk amoungst yourselves.
