    Lovely PT Compo.Did you put yours up or was it erected by the people who supplied it.We see quite a few of the big ones around but once the plastic covering rips,we find that they become neglected and uncared for.

    I'm looking for an old frame that I can dismantle, bring home and re cover. But they don't exist round here. We put our own up. and having done it once I know the small niggles that won't happen again.

    Hey strongy..............I want one of those. I could put it in the om's field. Oh wow, i'm so green :D :D Gosh i could grow some stuff in there. Infact i would move into it. Come out for tea and xmas [​IMG]

    When you start setting out in one corner and look at how much you have to fill you wish it was much smaller. :D

    How long will it take to fill it? I'd be in my element.

    We have a glasshouse the same size and will be filling each of them as the plants are ready. The geranium and Begonia plugs arrive on tuesday(30,000) and will take three weeks or so to pot and set out. The rest are grown from seed and the first beds in the parks will be planted from around 3rd week of may (weather permitting). A busy time as you obviously know! [​IMG]

    I wish i had gone for a gardening career, when i was younger. I often used to sit chatting to the park attendants but they never implied i could have a go at the job, and it never dawned on me then. I envy you your job, it must be really satisfying. But hey, I love my life now.
