I can't really call it a greenhouse because it doesn't have sides, but it will at least keep most of the rain off the tomatoes. The original greenhouse was super-cheap, (€50) but a strong wind shredded the thin pastic covering after a year or so, and bent the plastic joints of the frame. I got new joints (half the price of the original greenhouse) and a neighbour gave me some new, stronger, white, rip-stop plastic. I am keeping the whole thing stuck to the ground with two vertical stakes, one each side, firmly hammered into the gournd and tied to the verticals at two points. I think/hope it will do the job. The tomatoes will go out into it after the current cold spell.
Novel approach, Mark.
