Not at all hard (think something as simple as star pickets, 2" plastic
polypipe bent in an arch and heavy duty plastic), but the thing would be
to
keep the temps up overnight. I live where it gets down to about -9 and I
have doen a number of things like using hay bales with old windows on top
to
get things off to an early start in spring, but to stop the cold
'dropping'
on a tomato from the top of the 'greenhouse would be a problem. It would
need some form of heating and unless that is easy, I know I wouldn't do
it.
