Hi Lol, welcome. At least you will have plenty of thinking time during the winter to decide what is going to work for you, giving your back a well-needed rest You're right it is exciting
Thanks everyone. I've been given some pallets as well now so thinking of using them as a base for decking but it's going to be a slightly awkward shape,
my alliums and crocuses are just showing their shoots which is very exciting. I also have a front garden with some shrubs that need cutting back and crazy paving that needs repointing so it's going to be quite a bit of work.
Until last year I could barely use the garden cos of allergies but new medication means I've been fine this summer. It's all very exciting.
Recently subscribed to GW & wondered if anyone would care to comment on the Pro's & Cons of a polytunnel versus greenhouse. I am told that a polytunnel is quite long lived nowadays with improvements to the plastic & that much better to work in as can stand upright and roomier for the cost. I do notice that large greenhouses of any quality can be horrendously expensive to buy & have erected.
Hi, I am new to the forum. I did post on the new years day flower count. Hoping to find inspiration and motivation to get my garden more in order.( Banish the nettles and couch grass from my borders.) Looking forward to getting to know people and make friends.

Hi Lol! Welcome to the forums!
Great to hear about your garden, and sorry to hear about your back. Good luck!

Many thanks.
