Propagation Greenhouse Construction

The propagation greenhouse or prop house is a warm, sunny place for seeds to germinate and grow until they are ready to be transplanted into the field! I will start my seeds in plug trays:

?????????????????????????????The majority of the prop house was built from reused materials! We decided to build it off one side of the barn, so we only had to construct three walls!
