I have just come in from my greenhouse muttering about the fact that

We have a suburban backgarden and so space is limited and we have a
12x8 foot greenhouse which I think is better for confined spaces but
is more expensive. If I had a big country patch, I would prefer a
polytunnel and would prefer to have a whopping big one as I think it
would be much cheaper that way (big poly tunnel much cheaper than huge
greenhouse).

ok, looks like I am outvoted; alright then, if I had a choice, I would
choose a nice wooden greenhouse with a brick base, as long as it came
with a small bloke to paint it every 2 years.

My missus went and invested in a very nice bespoke pitched roof greenhouse
( with brick base) from Hartleys about 2 years ago. It is made from thick
sections of aluminium and is a cream colour. No painting required and should
long outlive her ( and me as well). It looks like its made from timber.
Glad to see yer settling down at last!

Blessings Kevin my son; I am a changed man. I have finally made peace
with all trolls and now wish nothing but calm intercourse on matters
of a horticultural nature. I have invested in a heavy duty
waterproof cassock for all work in my mixed borders.
