My New Greenhouse is Here!
« on: January 14, 2009, 22:59:31 »
I have bought a reconditioned greenhouse, the nice chap is putting it up for me, the base has been laid and the frame is up so its nearly there!

I don't have an allotment (fraud I know for being on this site) so its going in my garden in the half intended for fruit and veg

I must tie my hands behind my back and resist the temptation to sow, sow sow!

It's safely up. It is 8 x 10, I was going for 6x8 but then remembered a quote that said no one ever complained that their greenhouse was too big!

Chuffed to bits, the chap that did it all was fab, he reconditioned the greenhouse too

Excellent, hope the gales don't do any damage... those trees could shed branches!!  :o

fingers crossed! we cut the dead trees on the right down to a windbreak to avoid falling branches as they were very tall, the tree behind the greenhouse is not overhanging it and the neighbour kindly took an entire section off of it as it was shading our garden. Hopefully we have done enough but its horti glass which seems inclined to break even if you look at it funny so who knows!

Who needs an allotment when you a GH that big, it's superb.

Like the way you've given it pride of place without any respect for rights of way to the rest of your garden  ;D

Sow it, grow it, eat it.

 ;D Yes, I should have measured the garden first

There is about 30ft of garden behind the greenhouse but sod it, its worth it!

Well there's your plot then. There's plenty of space there for a good assortment.

 Hi peasticks  I love the greenhouse , the trouble is if you a garden nut like me then there will be no room in it very soon. I do not have an allotment, just a small piece of my garden for some potatoes and some tomatoes .  I propergate a lot of plants through, and without a  greenhouse would be lost.  Once i find out how to put pictures on i will show you.

Hi Hardy Gardener, welcome!

I don't think a greenhouse could ever be big enough! Like you I intend to fill mine till I can't get in the door  ;D I look forward to seeing some pic of your little plot
