You can find greenhouses, hoop houses / polytunnels, cold frames and other season extenders among the Garden Objects. First tap on Objects in the Drawing toolbar below your plan:

Then tap on the 'Type' drop-down menu and select Season Extenders.

Scroll down or type the name of the season extender in the search box to find the one you need.

Place the item on top of your plants (or add it then add your plants), making sure all four corner 'handles' of each plant sits within the structure.

Your growing season will then be automatically extended for these plants, and they will be listed separately in the Plant List.

If you need to, you can edit how many weeks the season extender adjusts the growing season by in your plan's Settings.

Tap on the drop down plan menu at the top of your plan, then choose Plan Settings from the list:

Tap on the Profile tab. Scroll down to Season Extenders and choose how many weeks you'd like to adjust the first and last frosts by using the drop-down menus.

Scroll down and tap Save Profile Settings to save your changes.
