Here's a couple more pics but if you want some more tell me what of and I'll take a closer close up.  The pipes are nailed into the wood and then wrapped with tape to prevent the plastic from tearing. It aint stuck together with sticky backed palstic and glue lol!

Hiya Heldi

Well my OH was curious how you attach the plastic to the pipes but think that pic will give him all the guidance he needs. I hope he knows what a latt is. He was a chippie at one point so he should I s'pose.
 I'm now not sure that polys are even allowed on my plot now boo hoo. Still, one day I will have huuuuuge garden and I can have one then, and my chucks, bees, maybe a little pygmy goat or two and erm some ducks....oops, sorry I'm back!

anyway how's it all coming on?

Hi Heldi,

Thanks very much for the extra pictures, all printed off a filed for a rainy day! You know the type I mean - when I win the lottery or inherit some money  ;D ;D

Some more pictures . First three taken on a rainy day (no!) in May.

[Heldi]

and there's more..

Bit miffed when looking at these. I've missed, photographically speaking, most of the flowering and even some of the harvesting.  The flowers having been bashed to bits by the rain and the garlic and shallots having to be rescued from it too.

These were taken mid Juneish ish !

I've told you I like poppies!I let them grow anywhere. Makes a change from looking at all the horsetail lol!

The first casualty of the wind and rain. My magnificent Caaaarrrrdooooooooooon ! (Highland accent required) Was slightly peed off when I saw it but worse things happen at sea.  Today I have found lots of my plants are collapsing with the weather. Both on the plot and at home. 

Now where on earth is the photograph of my purple cauliflower?

In the words of the famous err...me "One cannot be fannied with being cross with the weather when one has forgotten one's coat but has found a purple cauli!"
