I want to start growing my own salad stuff, and perhaps a few veggies,
in one
of those plastic small sort of small greenhouse. Is it too late
in the year. I
have never grown this sort of thing before except for
tomatoes. how do I start
with lettuce and mustard cress

How hot is it where you are?
Some stuff here on hot weather greens:

Unless it is very cold where you are, the warmer temps in the
greenhouse will work against you.
I have some Swiss Chard and Kale (a rescue from KMart) growing in 7b.
Probably too late for them, but the Kale is doing well and the Swiss
Chard is OK. It'll be in the 90's tomorrow, so I'll see.

Without knowing where you are and what your climate is like it is impossible
to say.

Well, I figure it's because he doesn't know he's doing so and/or he
might be a bit of a dufus. What do you think?
