It's Finally Up!
"Jo" wrote in message news:... Forgive me for my excitement... I've waited years for this moment......I finally have my own greenhouse! In previous years I've had fantastic success in growing salad veg (particularly cherry toms) on a south-facing trellis in a west-facing garden and out-of-doors. Having moved house the summer before last to a property with an east-facing garden and limited growing space I was feeling extremely upset by the fact that I was unable to grow my usual summer stock of salad veg. However, we have since demolished (a bit drastic a word, but true, nevertheless) a huge part of the outside space (shed, air-raid shelter etc) to provide a wonderful area in which we've had a gorgeous new patio built, but more importantly - have had an area created especially for my new greenhouse (and my husband's big shed). We are lucky enough that the house is built on a double plot, so that although the main garden is east-facing, there is a large part of the garden, to the side of the house, which gets the sun more often and is a superb siting for the greenhouse. I was so excited when the greenhouse was finally erected that I spent a good few minutes yesterday just watching the autovent opening and closing! I attempted my tomatoes last year, but the yeild was poor as I didn't have the space to site them suitably, but now I can get stuck in and get working. I can't wait. Wish me luck everyone!
