    pm me an address and I can send seeds for;

    Cleome - a fast growing annual reaching up to 1.4 metres high, needs space (1 metre) which may be useful for a season to fill space. Worth growing at least once. Good for bees.

    Nicotiana sylvestris - pretty much the same as the Cleome, maybe a little taller though (2 metres). Highly fragrant and the huge leaves make it look more exotic than it really is.

    Aserina scandens - an annual that is better as a climber, but works in baskets too.

    Salvia patens - perennial

      Well done FollyMon, take your time - you don't want to be moving it again if you put it in the wrong spot.

      You have probably thought all this through but heres a few tips:

      Get your base level or raise the front an inch above the back so the whole greenhouse slopes slightly, then you will be able to catch the water from the guttering and save it in a butt at the back.

      Make sure the base is completely square otherwise you'll get problems when you come to fit the roof. To check it's square measure across both diaganols, the measurement must be the same give or take a 1/4 of an inch.

      If you can get the long length running east/west - this maximises the amount of sunshine.

      Try and avoid big shady trees.

      Obviously you can only do the last two if you have a big garden and the luxury of several potential positions.
