We've built all of the raised beds and filled them with quality manure dirt. I built the beds out of 2"x4" stud lumber which I ripped in half on my table saw. I installed a ventilation system that employs two big box fans which can pump air into the greenhouse through two large ground level vents.
We've got a bunch of plants growing in the greenhouse! This is going to be a whole lot of fun. So far we have the following started and growing in various stages of development: peas, spinach, yellow squash, zucchini, cucumbers, 3 varieties of tomatoes, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, 5 varieties of peppers, strawberries and eggplant!
Sounds like a lot of stuff? It is. So far, so good. Here is a look.

It's amazing how hard you work. My laziness admires your industriousness. But it has no desire to imitate it.

The drive I have is more of a curse than a blessing. I just wish I could sit back and relax for a while, or take a nap. I'm tired.

Ditto what Zen said.
and very, very cool!

So take a nap already. What are you afraid of? That you'll end up lazy, liking it and looking like me? Oh wait ... that is scary. Nevermind.

Massive props to you. It took me several weekends with three helpers to build a basic 4' x 8' x 1' planter box on my slightly sloped backyard, let alone anything of this scale.
