Has anyone ever built one of those recycled greenhouses? I've downloaded some plans and I'm busy saving bottles... but it would be good to hear...
I am appalling at reading instructions or looking at things like sell-by dates. As of next year, that will all come under the new planning regime :)
Thank you. I think I'm going to plan a lot more next year. Actually, planning at all would be a good start. I just kind of went all...
I think one of my biggest beginner mistakes has been to plant every last seed in the packet. (Note to self - no household of two people needs 60+...
