Fritt I think best check the clips are okay on the rest of the glass and rather than a temporary measure which will cost and need sorting later get new glass. If weather is bitter maybe bubble wrap but it will sag each time it rains. Hugs, I like my GH better than my house
Fritt, if you arent too bothered by the way it looks, you can cover it with polytunnel plastic, thats what i did at my allotment, it only lasts a season, but worked for me
Thanks punkdoc and KEF. I think it is past it now.I have had it for nearly 25 years, and it survived transportation from our farm in Wales when we moved. Most of the clips holding the glass are long gone.They were not really good enough for the job and were later replaced with chocks of wood soaked in creosote.The bottom edge of the frame is rotten as well. I only need to keep the rain out so I thought the plastic roof lights would be the cheapest option.
Busy day, no gardening (quite a frost overnight) but lots of h....w..k, shopping, visiting Mum (thanks BM - another lovely cuddle! ), U3A art group, etc.
Beaus Mum - think I'll go for a jasmine, even though it won't last long in the warmth of the home, because the scent is so gorgeous. And as you say, it doesn't cost a lot to replace it in a few weeks if necessary. And I loved your story about Beau in the garden - what a cheeky boy!
Runnybeak - my cat clearly despises slugs and gives them a dirty look when they invade her feeding area. But we had a kitten once who would try eating anything that moved; she tried a slug once, and was very upset that her mouth was all covered in slime... it took a long time to get her clean! (Surely there should be a commercial use for slug slime? Sticks to anything even under water, and nearly impossible to remove.)
Busy Lizzie - perhaps you need to borrow Stacey's air gun??
Bekkie - my sister had ME and was very poorly for several years, but she's now virtually fully recovered. She just has to be careful not to get overtired. So there IS hope!
Panda - best wishes for your job search. The right thing is out there waiting for you...
Re LILIES. Just a reminder, if you have cats, that lily pollen is very toxic to them. They get it on their fur and lick it off - I believe it causes liver failure, a nasty way to go...
Bother. My GC visit tomorrow will have to be on foot or by public transport, since OH needs the car - so my purchases will be limited to what I can carry. Suppose I could walk along the canal towpath pushing my wheelbarrow...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
BM, i reckon you need a ride on mower, i would get lost in that garden, lovely!
Well SGL, that means you can eat two more before you put on weight!
Never mind RB, you can have another lovely lunch out tomorrow
GG, i uses to have milk and more, really useful
Liri, its good to hear positive things about ME, i went on one of the forums, the people are really really nice, but all seem very low and sad, not my cup of tea, if that dosent sound awful! Good choice with the jasmine, one of my favorites too, but i like the thermostat on high too so cant keep them! Your poor kitten! I would have been laughing too much to clean her up! . Im sure you could take your barrow to the GC, or a sack truck? At least they fold up!

Beaus, I love your garden, it will be wonderful in the summer.
Went for a two and a half hour stomp this afternoon.......bet I only wore off 2 malteasers

That was quite a walk lily - sure it worked off at least four Maltesers

. Guess what I did
.
I certainly can't remember all that's been said today. Well done Rb. Shame about your pot.
Fritillary it's sad to see your greenhouse looking like that. Hope you can find a way to make repairs.
Well SGL, that means you can eat two more before you put on weight!
