[Ag-eq] Jewel's greenhouse

[Jewel]

Tracy!  When I had the original greenhouse assembled, it was, entirely covered with plastic 
sheeting, which meant, unless I kept the front flap raised, there was no ventilation, so I cut the 
plastic away from the top and replaced it with frost cloth,thus  creating a continuous upward 
current of air;  as the rising hot air escaped from the top, cooler air was sucked up from lower 
down.
I have had plants, either cabbages or cauliflowers, or perhaps both, in  there since the beginning 
of August, or was it July, and they look very healthy, but there is no sign of them growing cabbage 
drumheads or cauliflowers.  They are protected from the unwelcome attentions of cabbage white 
butterflies and other such pesky insects, but do polinators have to have access to them?

Jewel, how did your greenhouse invention work out?  What was the fabric you
covered it with, again?  I've forgotten.
