Essential Greenhouse SuppliesHave a pencil and paper ready to make your shopping list? Great, let’s go:
1. Containers, Trays, or BedsOnce you’ve got your structure built, you need somewhere to put your plants. The options here are pretty endless.
You can use pots or trays, either set on the ground or on shelves or tables. Or you can plant directly in the ground or in raised beds. You can even use hanging baskets.
Depending on what you plan to grow, you’ll need a seed tray (or 20) to start seeds.
Heavy Duty 1020 Tray
Gardener’s Supply Company makes some heavy-duty 21 by 11-inch trays that are reusable and deep enough for most seed-starting needs.
You absolutely must label your seeds. I can’t count how many times I told myself I would remember what seeds I’d sown or I stuck a piece of paper under the tray, thinking it would last until the seedlings emerged and at that point I could tell them apart.

Giveaway: ‘essential perennials’ reckons with feast of plant possibilities
Now Ruth Rogers Clausen, one author of that well-used 1989 book, has teamed with another longtime horticulturist and garden writer, Tom Christopher, to create a volume that better matches the palette of plants packing the benches of today’s nurseries—and also better serves gardeners in the hot, humid Southeast, not just cooler and drier regions, something the earlier book didn’t. (I’m sharing a copy in the latest giveaway; enter at the bottom of the page.)Their new book is “Essential Perennials: The Complete Reference to 2700 Perennials for the Home Garden,” and it is a collaboration with a special backstory: Ruth, a British-trained horticulturi
