Hi folks, sorry I barged straight in with a question last week . I should have introduced myself properly, I live in East Ayrshire with my husband and six fosterkids,all boys.We moved here 3 years ago and I am still trying to get to grips with the very overgrown tree filled garden. we have now removed a lot of trees and I am gradually planting shrubs and perennials. We have almost finished erecting a polytunnel, 20ftx40ft and I am desperate to get in there and start sowing seeds for next year. I dare say I will be looking for some guidance and advice, never having had even a little greenhouse before!

 

Hello annej,

You may have a challenging garden but sounds like you have a small battalion on hand to bribe into helping!

I'm very envious of your polytunnel and look forward to hearing of your progress. I'm a keen beginner and I'm thoroughly enjoying this site with all the help available

Hi Anne, welcome aboard.

 

Hi annej and a warm welcome from me too.

I agree with t&o and walnut about getting those boys interested in the garden and helping you.

Good luck to you all.

 

Hi Annej good luck with the tunnel I have also just finished putting up a tunnel.
