    I'm still waiting for the windows to arrive for my greenhouse, I hope they'll be here soon,
    but I have been putting my cacti and some succulents in there without the windows. It's sheltered enough for them, and I don't want to leave it too late ...

    Those sheets of perspex will go when the windows are in, and I want to paint the walls. It will be right then until the spring :biggrin:

          I have more shelving to put along the wall under the windows, and many more succulents to fill them up with :heehee: but I agree, I could do with a bigger greenhouse and who knows one day I may have one :biggrin:

          Thank you @Upsydaisy. I love my cacti, I just couldn't live without them :smile:

                      Thank you @glengarry23 I'm glad you enjoyed the photos. The builder said the windows should be here this week but I have a suspicion they have been delayed :frown: I'm glad the weather is still mild.

                          @Michael Hewett you've done very well with your greenhouse and all of your cacti and succulents look great.

                                Sorry Michael, I don't know how I missed your last posting!!! My goodness, you are just choc-a-bloc with pots. I could not cope with so many ... plus you have the ones outside. You must stop buying! Seriously, everything is looking great through all the upheaval.
