I've got blisters on my fingers!

Seriously - oww! Overreached myself on the gravel moving project - I still had a large heap to divide between the tip and the base for my new greenhouse. I don't have it any more. Which is a positive move as I now have a greenhouse base, some bags of bigger rubble for the tip and some clear land to plant a meadow on. All of which I'm pleased with (although I wish the bags would tip themselves to be honest - I think I'll be skipping the weights in my gym session tonight).

The plan is to get the budget greenhouse from Norfolk - http://www.norfolk-greenhouses.co.uk/shop/shop-infopage.php?longref=175~0. I don't think the tent-style ones are going to cut it for me - I used the greenhouse pretty seriously, I have a small toddler, and there are surprisingly strong winds whipping down these terrace gardens.

Once this is in place, I'll have room for a couple more raised beds on the left of the nearest third of the garden. Then there'll be a path, then a formal lawn back as far as I can go. Then meadow style grass back the rest of the way.

So proud of myself, but full of muscle ache right now :)

That's a damn good price for the greenhouse.



Mind you, if your shopping cart contains this lot, then they have a bit of a security hole!:

1 x Solar-Powered Vent £29.00
1 x Norfolk Thermometer £4.50
1 x Junior Staging with 6 Trays £14.00
2 x Ultimate Junior 4 : Green Trim £258.00
1 x Senior Staging : Senior Staging (single) £14.00

No - that's not mine :)

I think it's a good price, and a good compromise between tents and "real" greenhouses. It's only plastic sheeting, but that's actually the best option for me right now, and I can replace it later.

Go you!!!! :) I can't wait to see the result - will have to sort coming down for an over night one weekend :)

Heh - you might want to wait until, say, May or June. It's a cat shit infested swamp at the moment :) But let's make a date for early summer anyway - we could have a girly night out, and go to the zoo.

That totally works for me! :D
