Had a good day at the sea side in picturesque Donna Nook  ;D  Sounds idyllic looks horrid.  Dog had a lovely time though but headed out to sea across the bombing range (my husband threw his ball for him tee hee)

He went so far, as he was chasing after three greyhounds by this time, that we lost sight of him.  Just a little dot on the horizon.  He then got his toes in the sea and came flying back to us.  He found some very good driftwood to play with which we took back for our niece's garden. I didn't know if we could do that - hope I didn't do wrong. 

Loads of garden centres in that neck of the woods.  It was a glorious day and I was hankering to be back on the lotty

Wot's all this got to do with greenhouses?  ;D

[kitty]

i dont think donna nook is going to miss a bit of driftwood wardy!there plenty of it there-b****r all else aint there?! ;D
its not always a bombing range...they puty flags up when they are having a sesh.....

It's still in my car!  It was sposed to go back to my niece's house by the sea!  It aint going to look too relevant in my garden which is the farthest point from the coast in every direction  ;D

Ah well praps I can make it into an interesting collage, take a photo and frame it up and post it to her  ;D

Or use it to make an interesting plant support  :)

Our last greenhouse blew down.
it wasn't quite square and in last years big gusts it all cam tumbling down. Quite impressive to watch. Everything bent or broken including the frame except six pieces of glass.
This year we have a slighly bigger one 8 x 8  but it is still not up. We started on Saturday making a nice solid concret base nice and square and nice and flat. Sunday we then spent the day assembling the sides and drilling to holes to attach it to the concrete blocks. I think it will be the weekend before we try to finish it - lets hope for good weather.
I don't know how anyone can disassemble and reassemble greenhouses. I am impressed or are we just slow?? I thin our skills are just not up to greenhouses.

Well here the mini greenhouse.  Just started moving pots in there and it looks good from here.  But as terri said, it WILL be too small .....

My hubby says us gardeners are never content with what we've got, we always want bigger.   ;D ;)

Hi Marianne!!  ;) I'm looking at buying a mini greenhouse as well, and yours looks like exactly what I'm after  ;) Can I ask how much you got it for so I know roughly what it should be priced at ? many thanks in advance for your help!!  ;D

Hi Kitty I have got 5 of these, bought them in my local store Roys. Wanna be jealous mine were £9.99!!

I use them as staging in my greenhouse. Bought an extra one and they now have four shelves. One has its cover on inside the greenhouse, extra large propagator 'cos it keep plants about 5deg warmer.

The covers are going outside to be used as mini tom houses. Best value items I have bought this year.

Still no toms!!

[kitty]

wow!
green i am!that was a good buy there!
i have a slightly larger one coming in the post any day-i plan to have me a melon emporium!-i shall use the mini g/h as a cucumber pit!

hows your Battle if the Weeds coming on?whats the score?

A few years ago I had the most enjoyable 3 days spent putting up my greenhouse, the weather was perfect and I started each day early so as the make the most of the weather.  It's an Oasis greenhouse and I have not fitted it at the base so it can be moved if necessary.  I don't like fixing things permanently in the garden as I am always moving them around.  But this year I will fix the greenhouse at the base and hope to have a few more enjoyable days in the summer, when hopfully all my seedlings are in the ground.  Those mini greenhouses do just the job and if I had room I would have more of them

Seen today in the Daily Express !

Exceptional offer for a mini greenhouse, identical to mine pictured above.

Their exceptional offer ----->  £29.99 + £3.95 Post and Packing.

The price I paid from a local shop ---> £19.95

What a cheek !!!! >:( :o

[ruudbarb]

That's the tabloid press for you Marianne, they are full of what used to make the prairies so fertile.  I consider them to be so much rubbish that I won't put them on my compost heap......... >:( >:( >:(

[Marianne]

My OH normally purchases the paper for me and today, he bought this one in error !!!

But how can they call that exceptional offer !?  It's just taking the big Peeeeeeeeee ::) ::)
