My New Greenhouse :)

Beautiful Michael. I bet you are pleased, however, I am afraid to say I will not be visiting to help you water!

 

Thank you @glengarry23

@shiney and @Victoria, After almost 60 years of collecting cacti I know how to handle them, so I never come to any harm

 

I suppose they told you that, did they?

 

No I don't talk to them, I never know what to say

 

Of course they did. They all talk and you wouldn't believe what I heard through the grapevine!

 

A few more greenhouse photos after clearing some of the mess,

The photos show how the greenhouse fits in with the rest of the house - the extension is new and I didn't want the greenhouse to look out of place,
but there's still a lot of junk lying about. It's mainly from the old demolished shed and I'm clearing/tidying it gradually.





The walls will be rendered in the spring.

My next job is with a little perspex shelter that was attached to the old demolished shed and is now next to the greenhouse. I used it for potting etc but it has become unstable and it is also in a mess,





The sides are formed from trellises with climbing plants so I'll leave those alone and take the roof off, then I can use it as a place for storing hosepipe, compost bags etc, and next year I hope to have a water but in there.

The side window of the greenhouse looks into the perspex shelter and after I've taken the roof off the sun will be able to shine through the window.



And when the mess is all cleared it will look tidier

 

Looking really good Michael.

I bet you are pleased with that.

 

Looks great and yes, it really does seem seamless going from house to greenhouse. Very nicely done.

 

Looks very good Michael, fits in with the house well.

 

They installed some plugs in the greenhouse for me a few days ago. Now I can put a heater in there for the worst nights.
I'm thinking of putting some of my propagators in there in the new year. It will be easier than them being down the bottom of the garden.

There's a lot of condensation on the inside of the roof and it froze last night so I put the heater for an hour this morning, to melt it. I am going to try and wipe it off, and hope any new condensation won't be as bad.
