If it was me, I'd go for another Alton (25
years is a fair age). Alton (as you probably know) do two lean-tos. If you
want to see them in the 'flesh' then the nearest stockist (according to
Alton's website www.alton-greenhouses.co.uk) is Wyevale's in Beaconsfield (I
assume you know, on the London Road?) I believe there is a 10'x8' lean-to.


Oh dear not the dreaded Wyevales garden centre. Not sure any of the
staff I've ever met there would know lot about plants Got some cheap
books and seeds there but wouldn't rate the plants , though maybe
they've changed since last year?

Will look at lean to's but my greenhouse is about 10 foot away from the
utility room wall

He just has a cheap aluminium attached to the side of the 'garage' (read
junk storage container) - but it's enough for toms, peppers and cucumbers.

He also grows trailing cherry toms in an old barrow. I don't know what they
were last year, but they were the sweetest and juiciest I've ever eaten -
there weren't many left when they were needed for a salad!




Know what you mean, I hardly eve have any left of mine because I prefer
the unripe ones and Tom likes soft mushy ripe ones so he never gets
any
