Cheers!

Aptly named, the Spring house - take it out of the wrapper and it goes BOIIIINNGG - and you have a greenhouse!

Time for bedding plants, said Zebedee...

::)    ;D

Santa's already been informed of my need of another plastic greenhouse thngy and a couple of large watering cans.  He's on his way to Robert Dyas right now ... ...

If he can fit in a trip to Wilko's he might be able to get some spare covers for it.

;D

I've been good, honest.


Asbean,

Robert Dyas does a really good, heavy duty spare cover, mine has lasted for years. If they don't have any in the shop they could maybe order it for you (though you might have to wait until Spring?)

I'll vouch for Robert Dyas covers too.  Mine lasted years until a builder dropped a screwdriver through it from 4 storeys up.  The Wilko one he replaced it with lasted 24 hours.

I quite agree, Robert Dyas covers are much better quality, the Wilko one was given to me by the neighbour of a friend, so couldn't complain really.  I still have the original cover on a RD one I bought in 2003!  I think this may be its last season, though.

Ooooooh!  I'm tempted.  But it wouldn't fit in with the decor at the garden, and methinks it will easily blow away at the lottie
