    It should get the sun pretty much all day - and with a bit of luck the wall will warm up in the winter & not need too much overnight heating. Theres a small hazel tree next too it but its not overhanging the glass & Im going to cut it back a bit next year so that it doesnt get in the way. I get the odd beer bottle over the wall when the natives get restless so polycarb may be the way to go in the future anyway..

    I'm quite envious of all these GHs on GC. I don't have the room where we are but I shall enjoy watching yours in 2013,

      Nine Albion strawberry plants reduced from £7.99 to 50p each, although I don't believe that anybody would pay eight pounds for a strawberry plant, but fifty pence for sturdy, established plants in 4 litre pots looked good enough for me.

        The other day I went shopping at Taste-y-Crater, and today nipped in to SecretSeeds then popped round the corner to Nicky's Nursery, and came home via Jungle Seeds ('coz they are flogging off Cannas and Gingers at a bit less than 4-quid each, so I bought some seeds whilst I was there - still 25% off most of them ...)

        And that was all just impulse-purchase, I haven't started to look at the stalwarts that I need, every year, yet ...

        ... which reminds me T&M told me they were doing Free Carriage until the end of the month (some voucher code required). I'd best pip in there too then ...

        "we're doomed" !

                I didn't bother some buying some of the smaller plants, but whilst driving past today I thought I'd have another quick look around (bargain hunting can be complulsive) and saw they'd now been reduced to only 25p each, so had the last 5. Must be worth it just for the 4 L pots.
