We're putting it up at the moment. It's very slow. Thursday we got most of the base plates in, and today we got three of the hoops up. But we gave up when the drill ran out of steam, and there are only the three of us (the troops vanished when they realised they had to do some physical work!) and we are close to killing each other. I can't see us finishing tomorrow, which means we'll have to leave it unfinished till next weekend to get the cover and doors on.
I'm planning on putting winter salads in it, plus the outside plants which are tender, and some potatoes in buckets for Christmas. We've got five raised beds planned - one for blueberrries (this bed will have to be excavated and refilled as we are on chalk), one for asparagus (to supplement the ones we already have established), one for flowers and the others will be incorporated into the rotation system such as it is.
It's an excellent site for train spotting, and the neighbouring plotholders are really nice, we're going to have a little drinks party with the couple next door when the tunnel is up. The plot the other side is completely covered with weeds - they were waist high but the outgoing people strimmed it all down to ground level. Apparently it got too much for them and they hadn';t done anything on the plot for three years!
Sorry they want you to take yours down Old Bird, after all that effort, you must fight for it.
If I get the energy I'll take some pics, though I tend to forget my phone has a camera until it's too late.
