Well it's just chucked it down & I debated leaving the washing out!!
The roof panels on that side are elderly, non horticultural, single thickness polycarbonate. We fitted them some yrs ago after on-going vandalism from the adjacent alleyway, which has ceased, thank goodness. Last incident was early 08 & a panel got pushed in by a thrown brick !! At least no smashed glass over everything.
Now the leylands I planted to the alleyway side, north luckily, are kept above the greenhouse height & there is a generation of kids that dont know it's there. The panels never fitted brilliantly & last yr daughter had the bright idea of using masking tape as well as the wire fittings, to secure the panels to the frame. So far so good. They can slip & sometimes flip out, but, whilst no plants in there, not a problem.
Made it to garden centre.. 3 for 10 offers ...eeeek
Thank you for the tip off.
I like to get the early offers. Last year my local GC (Wyevale) were offering perennials for 10 for £10.
So I've just had a trip down there. Yes, they have a range perennials in. But there seems to have been a price increase. It's 8 for £10 this year. The same plants will be 2 or 3 pounds each, in a few weeks time.
They also had a wall full of potatoes - dozens of varieties - didn't buy any. But I did buy a dahlia tuber, of which they had many varieties (to look at, not eat ). (Foolish impulse purchase ).
Yup, an entire wall decorated with bags of seed potatoes, for sale. There might have been some onion sets among them. I didn't look too closely.
Also came back with some cellular seed trays. They have these in a variety of sizes, from relatively small cells (40 cells to a tray), through medium, to large cells (15 cells to a tray). And these are all BOGOFS.
Been to garden centre. No wallflowers though! Ended up with seed potatoes and a large pot of chives from the half dead section. These seemed to be healthier than from the normal place!

Geoff, just stick to 'thinking' about it for today!
Take your phone then you can summon help if under attack.

Taken me a while to catch up!!
Sorry to hear about Rigsby, Dean
Bjay, if I'm not too late, I will be like Bunny and request a bit of each (on the same plate also fine).
Funny weather here today. Sun then hail then rain! Very windy too. I'm not keen
Must go through the seed collection I already have before shopping.

They made a wall out of potatoes??

OH impressed with my purchases...or at least pretends to be hehe.
No ceonothus or plug plants though. Don't really have room in greenhouse for them anyway.
Only 2 pieces of cake left here and cheesey chives scones all gone and the fresh bread ...better put baking on my to do list....
Think I was quite restrained!
