Well tomorrow we are going to be accepting an offer on our house and confirming an offer on another place. So excited :)

Although the back garden is nice and big i am not going to be able to afford a greenhouse for a while but when i do i will be able to lean this against a wall. And 1/3 the garden is going to be for veggies :)

I cant wait although i will miss my allotment i think i am going to enjoy the challange of growing more seasonal crops i can tend rather than planting and abandoning to the elements on the lotty.

I have a friend who is going to manage my plot as i have only just renewed it and i can move stuff from it later in the year when i have the space ready for it :)

Any tips on lean 2 greenhouses and growing stuff in the garden would be appreciated. I am thinking that i am going to have about 14-6ft by 20ft to grow stuff in and the greenhouse is going to be about 10ft long by 4 to 6 ft possibly with power....

Fruit trees are going to be planted in the flower boarders and i dont think i am going to bother with berrys at the moment. Rhubarb is going to be planted under a tree that the developers have planted in the garden....

Oh, at the moment there is no grass just mud and i will be putting in raised beds but what should i use for the paths??? Any ideas??? Perhapse paving slabs over membrane?

Yippie Yippie Yippie !!!

There must be movement in the market place, because we've just sold our home as well after being on the market for over a year, yep and exchanged contracts yesterday.

Hope it all goes well, Camborne..I think paving over mambrane is the best way, keep the weeds away , just the right time to start planting all the trees, too , good luck in your new home  ;D
