im growing 3 plants outdoors and need an inexpensive way to build a greenhouse that doesnt look like one due to pesky neighbors. I live in north texas and get plenty of sun a day i just need to hide my babies from prying eyes while offering good habitat for my flowering beauties. please help

I'm not sure what this would cost but, try a shed with a glass roof and reflective iterior walls.

do not use glass for the roof!!! it will make too much extra heat...it magnifies the heat from the sun....they make **** just for green houses, but fiber glass also works well

Surround your MJ's with mater plants, I Think they have similar needs and growth rates (S2's two cents could go a long way here, he's MR. Plants)
If your MJ starts outgrowing the tomatoes, just top them.
Oh, if you're planning on growing soon, i guess you'll have to have a 'greenhouse' of sorts to keep em warm... in which case, good luck in the square counties, and try a search in the construction forum; you might find some useful examples there.

the stuff for greenhouses is called filon (i think cant rember to well) its a coragated fiberglass transmits light extremly well plus its very durable and you cant really see through it very well so building even a greenhouse in plain sight you could just keep em from touching the walls and you would be fine as for glass amplifing heat any greenhouse without proper ventalation gets really warm ive been in greenhouse in january when it was -20 out and it was 60+ in the greenhouse during the day but remember when you vent a greenhouse full of herb its gonna smell so you might wanna look ozone generators

I have built these myself using plan as guide. I actually spent less than $100.00.

do you need to vent it ?
do you plant in the ground under it ?
if u plant in containers does the cold affect them?
