Becks if you have one with zips etc you could end upin same situation. Those I pointed you to do not have soft sides, or zips. I originally bought the tomato house manyyears ago, then I bought a soft one with zips - same problem you have. Although I now have a GH I bought a raisd bed off them last year, As I said fast and efficient service.
Have just been moving furniture back to it correct place, we moved it before Christmas and left it until M do. Now evrything is right and cosy again and Oscar has his settee he can have cuddles on back!!
have also sghifted last of leaves and started on bed that will have peas, beans and such like in ie clearing it , Found some beetroot growing
Hello forkers, hot day in HK, but I was working the afternoon and evening shift. Got a sore throat, had to let them go early. Glad you got some sun too.
Teaching all day tomorrow, then on the night flight home. Arrive back Monday am, hurray
Will catch up with you all then, enjoy your weekend.
OH & daughter are dismantling her futon. It's also going to the tip & I thought she was taking it with her...
OH came home demanding his camera tripod, or my Dad's which went to his tip in '11. Anyway we knew OH's old one was in 3rd bit of daughter's wardrobe, blocked in by the futon......can you see where this is going yet?
Becks that link re Norfolk G/H looks good- more solid than a plastic, but less expensive than something bigger. Add an inexpensive coldframe- or better still make your own:
a la Geoff H- Bricks to make a base, say 2or3 high. Old spare double glazing window/polycarbonate sheet on top & weighted down. Ok not nec the safest option with Jess around, but she's old enough now to learn mustnt touch. A coldframe is warmer than outside, but cooler than any greenhouse, so a useful extra.
Right, back to shed, which isnt prooving as bad as I thought/expected. J.
Just come in, finished for the day so my back told me. Cleared leaves, tidied up few plants, threw away Chard that had gone off in snow and raked that bed over avoiding spinach which still picking from - probably go by next weekend as need to manure/enrich bed for peas and beans.
Didn't dig up and re-plant the budlea buzz I have. Don't like it, but will help wildlife so will stick it in a sort of shrub border slowly planting up, or may give it away Hmmmm.
Update- I got rid of my 2 remaining chard plants too earlier.
The wardrobe clear out has got to the 'ahh stage' ie daughter's bits of artwork, old school projects etc.
The wooden frame from the futon is being dismantled & will be kept. Too good to chuck. OH says will be easy to make daughter a slatted compost/leaf bin out of it. It's going to end up on empty greenhouse staging for the time being. Not sure any more room in the shed, but side of garge an option. My car back in there so shall investigate space next time car out.
Found daughter's, child size Arran jumper that my Mum knitted. Plus my cardi, which looks almost un-worn, probably coz I looked like Michellin man when wearing. Daughter now wearing it, brill on her, skinny so n so, & will be excellent for when she's cold in her house! J.

I've just found mine Gary. Cheaper to buy a totally new one, than the cover alone.

Do like the look of those other more sturdy ones though. Oh, I hate making decisions.
Do like this one though.

Becks have you not considered a cold frame, I have one of those plant houses it is OK but still blew over in the wind
Lottie- that sounds like good news.
Jo my GC had Dahlias in stock and Chocolate cosmos
Kate, I'm just browsing through a few sites now. Coldframe definately an option.

Filled council bin and not due for another week
Large mug of tea and then a bath - back later.
No jo, I like that idea for a coldframe. Do-able, and Jess does understand not to touch.
I was looking at this.

But your way would be much better, and cheaper.
