Can I itemize a greenhouse when I file my taxes?

My husband has a full time job as an operator with a construction company. I have been a homemaker. We bought a greenhouse in 2008, and we are planning to market organic vegetables. My question is, can I use my greenhouse as a tax deduction, even though it hasn’t really made us any money yet, or will that put up a red flag because my husband’s job isn’t related to greenhouses?

It is a red flag because you are not really operating as an Organic Produce Marketer. Don’t itemize the greenhouse yet..
