Title: new greenhouse
Post by: shirlton on January 21, 2007, 14:42:32
Have cleared the space for my new greenhouse. It's just a case of waiting now. It's going outside the kitchen window so I will have plenty of time to keep my eye on things.

He's gotta dig a tree out first cos it come right on the corner. It's a weeping birch and was getting rather out of hand anyway. I don't really like taking trees out but am going to plant a rowan in the front to make amends

Shirlton; I've erected scores of greenhouse and would be interested in a bit more detail. What material is it? What size is it? Are you glass/poly or plastic finish?
