Hello , really pleased , just got to make full use of it , I'll take a picture next time I'm up there and put it on site
next project for the winter , I have acquired a second hand greenhouse , that needed a bit of repay , one of my nephews helped put it up , just need to glaze it !
just picked all the out door tomatoes as the weather is definitely turning
Went up to the plot last night to find my walk in growhouse all mangled up from the high winds the night before. Never mind, it was wishful thinking that it might survive the winter, so I will take apart and store it until March. Just glad it was anchored down or it would have ended up on next doors chickens
Hi ginagibbs. That happened to my nylon walk in growhouse, turned inside out - twice in a month. Realised it would happen again so removed the cover and built a shed with a clear roof around the frame and shelving. Works splendidly. The winds a few days ago flattened my runner beans [which I was going to remove anyway] and bent over my 5 foot tall Roodnerf sprouts, even though they were securely staked - or so I thought!
hi Gardengirl....just saw your post there... no I've not heard a thing, I was advised not to expect to get a response for ''some weeks''... I've spoken to an allotment holder at another site who thinks I ought to go there in any case, but it's a car drive away and didn't want to do that... getting a bit late in the year now, I wanted to get started on it earlier.. but on the other hand there shouldn't be any great rush really.... I wanted to give myself a couple of years to get things sorted, as I retire then....and will have more time... so I'll just hang on a bit.... I'm not going begging...lol.. and I try to keep up on this thread with tips and advice....

GWRS Your plot must look massive now with the two half's together

Thanks Mel, good idea about the shed. My broad beans and sun flowers were horizontal too
Ginagibbs hope the gh ok is a bit windy here today my plastic bottle cloches blown off the plants. my gh same as your one in pic - tied down too
Salino - have you had any news on the allotment, if not maybe you should ask find out any info - as there are vacant plots
Went to the GC today and got some peas for one pound, there were other veg in the sale too so check out your garden centres for any good deals
