It really works to extend the growing season in the cold North East,
For the last couple of years I have been growing a couple of tomato plants on my patio in large pots. Until last year I waited to plant my tomatoes plants until the end of May as cold frosty night we get kill tomatos that are planted too early.
Last year we decided to try pop-up green house to see if can extend the growing season in the cold North East. Small plants were planted in the green house in early April.
My plants were watered by a drip irrigation system on a timer. I did not open the green house other than every two weeks to fertilize the plants. The plants grew rapidly and survived well through a number of frosty nights we had since early April. By the beginning of May my tomato plants had flower clusters.
I was concerned about pollination, since my plants were covered and no well meaning bee could get to the flowers. After doing a bit of research I found that either insects, wind or hand shaking of the flowers would carry the pollen from the anthers to the stigma. I found that some people use electric toothbrush placed near the blossoms to simulate buzzing bees. But I went with a simpler method: shaking the plant gently once a week for self-pollination. The tomato pollen is not in the exterior of the anthers like most flowers but is produced internally and then released thru pores in the anther. Motion is required to release the pollen, and the greatest quantity is released by sonication of the “correct” frequency. When you shake the plant by hand try to mimic the natural resonances of sonicating bee. Shaking should not be violent, just as close to the right frequency as possible. Note that using implement like a cue tip or a brush is not very effective because the tomato’s pollen is not on the surface.
In the last week of May last year I noticed the first tomatoes on my plants which is pretty incredible for the cold North East! I felt like a proud mother since I polinated the plants myself with a technique described above 🙂
Update 5/21: I live in the Northeast, close to New Hampshire/Massachusetts border. This morning I noticed my first green tomato! The tomato plants are about 3 feet tall and have several flower clusters. A friend of mine and I bought the same variety of tomatos on the same day, but he does not use a pop green house. I visited his house this weekend and his tomatos are still little dwarves compared to mine! This pop-up plant house really works!

|Great little shelter,
This is a wonderful shelter for potted plants here in the South. When temps are to go below 25 degrees I put a plant light in the shelter for added warmth and the plants have survived a temp of 15 degrees. The Planthouse is easy to put together and I have put 10 8 inch pots and a 6 inch pot in it. I previously had the 4′ size which I used for 3 years and it would have been good for a fourth year but was damaged by a hail storm. Pretty good for such an inexpensive shelter

|Great Little Greenhouse!,
I did not find this greenhouse to be difficult to assemble at all. It is reasonably sturdy and is doing a great job so far of keeping my roses protected from our sometimes fierce Ohio winds (I lost 9 of 10 bushes when I moved here last year because I did not protect them well enough from the wind). I do recommend adding a little portable fan or some other way to create air movement within the greenhouse for plants that are sensitive to any kind of fungus or mildew. Also, make sure to secure the greenhouse as it is very light and can blow away easily unless secured.
This is a great product for the price!

|Greenline Greenhouse,
While I was impressed with the packaging and speed of delivery that was the end of my satisfaction. The greenhouse is very cheaply constructed and unless you are 4 feet tall total useless without an extention to the base. It took just over 3 hours to assemble and this includes going to the hardware store to replace the cheap aluminum screws they sent, 8 of them broke while tightening and of course there where no extras sent. The panels used are of the cheapest plastic known to man, you would think for this price they would be double pane but nooooo. Avoid this RION GREENLINE or RION HOBBY Greenhouse, unless you buy it for $99.00. That’s what it is worth.

|Rion backyard greenhouse,
Seems to be well designed and of good quality. Assembly bolts very soft aluminum that easily break if tightened too much or loosened and retightened. Stainless steel bolts would be a better choice. No spare bolts or screws included in kit so if some are damaged or broken you have to go buy replacements. Assembly time somewhat longer than anticipated as there are many small parts. Instructions easier to follow than many other products I have put together.
Everything fit OK and so far the greenhouse has worked well as temps dropped into mid 20s. A very small ceramic heater has kept temps in the 40s and 50s on it’s lowest setting.
An attractive small greenhouse for the price.

|NICE GREENHOUSE,
PROS:
1.VERY ATTRACTIVE
2.QUALITY MATERIALS
3.FAIRLY EASY TO ASSEMBLE- READ AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTION EXACTLY
CONS:
1.LOW HEADROOM
2.BOLTS BREAK EASILY…NO EXTRAS…SPECIALTY MADE BOLTS, HARD TO FIND AT HARDWARE STORES…IF NEED EXTRA BOLTS, YOU NEED TO ORDER FROM COMPANY
WITH THAT SAID, I AM VERY PLEASED WITH FINISHED PRODUCT. I RAISED MY GREEN HOUSE USING 2 BY 6 TREATED LUMBER. THIS PROVIVES 6 IN. MORE HEADROOM. HELPFUL HINT – DO NOT TIGHTEN ANY BOLTS UNTIL ASSEMBLY IS FINISHED…..ALL IN ALL A GOOD LITTLE GREENHOUSE.
FYI– THIS SAME GREENHOUSE (EXCEPT FOR THE COLOR) SELLS FOR $200 LESS. IT IS CALLED THE RION SILVER HOBBY GREENHOUSE …CHECK IT OUT ON THIS SITE.
