	I couldn't agree with you more, Jim.
	I just have a simple aluminum-framed CF with poly panels I got from  
Charlie's Greenhouse.
	Works like a dream.

	I got revitalized this last Fall to start propagating and potting up  
plants in the garden.
	I'm moving a lot of my favorite plants from the ground into pots.
	I'm favoring container growing over in-ground more and more every year.

	The CF had languished for years with very little use.
	Now it is chock full -- and even though we aren't getting the super  
cold frosty weather like you have in the east -- it dips down into the  
low thirties.
	The plants have been growing and stretching out like it was Spring.
	Next year I will certainly add another frame.
