Finally got a greenhouse

well folks, havent posted for ages as i had been bought a used gh for my birthday and the weather has been awful, then along comes another freebie one, rebuilt it last week and glazed it on sunday.

cest voila my first greenhouse, (need to build original one soon).

thought i'd look up the forum yesterday and boy was i in for a shock, all these lovely pristine full gh's...makes mine look awful, have to start somewhere.

so here it is, needs a good wash though.

thanks to all from before

Alasdair


ps tips would be welcome

 

never mind that its not brand new, at least youve got one to enjoy filling up with seedlings and plants and they are great to escape into when its a bit windy out side. i take a radio and a cuppa and can loose my self for ages in mine.

 

Alisdair, what sort of tips are you looking for?:D

 

I never tip more than 20p. I am not only one quarter Welsh but also one quarter Scottish, and I now live in Scarborough....Make that 10p.

Enjoy your greenhouse Alasdair. They don't wear out so fill it as you go along.

 

You are being very generous today John, a whole 10p?:p

 

Hi Alasdair

Get yourself some multipurpose compost and some seeds and get sowing.

For something more instant buy some tomato plants and plant them in growbags or large pots.
I see you are from Scottland,so no rush,unless you are prepared to cover them with fleese on cold nights.
Good luck and brace yourself for lots of advice.

 

Actually Alasdair, if it is second hand, I would wash it in a Jeyes' Fluid solution just in case it's picked up any nasties. Joking apart I am sure that Dai T.P. will agree. But you don't get your 10p now.:D

 

hi Alsdair, Mary, High Kype, lives in Strathaven
i am sure get through there and she will let you have some
tomato plants,she has brought loads on from seed,
have they closed all the lace mills in newmills and darvel boy i sure miss them? just wondered if you maybe new of maybe one left, enjoy your greenhouse,sorry im not closer I could give you some things to get you started

 

hello Alasdair if you need tomato plants PM me got plenty :thumb:

 

Kathy, they closed the last mill in Darvel the back end of last year and moved the loom to the last remaining mill in Newmilns. Morton,Young & Borland actually make cloth for Laura Ashley and a few big designer names that escape me.

Mary/high kype, i may take you up on that offer thanks all.
