    Not something I will rush at, will have at least one season with "annuals" first, but a small Cherry or a grape might be nice.

    Securing a plastic greenhouse to the ground

    Hi Martin, thanks for the link. I do keep an eye on Gumtree, maybe I am lucky and find one for next year. I won't bother for this year, and hopefully be able to get one at the end of this season.
