    Hi,
    With retirement looming I decided to buy a small greenhouse two years ago
    and at 67 I hope to retire in March.
    Always enjoyed gardening but in a busy life I never really had the time to put into it.
    I live in Newcastle upon tyne and hope I can get advice from other members about
    the greenhouse
    has been pretty disappointing so far so I will be asking for a lot of advice
    please excuse the poor grammar but with macula degeneration taking over it,s
    as good as it gets
    Kind regards to all
    Tom,,,,

        Lovely of you to join us, Tom, and I'm sure you will get some excellent advice regarding your greenhouse. I don't have the luxury of one myself, but plenty of members do have one and will be happy to share their experiences with you.

        Retiring in March? That date must be speeding forward at a rate of knots for you now!

        Looking forward to seeing you around the forums :thumbsup:

                Hi Grumps - I wear a set of clear UV protection glasses in the garden all the time to try and prevent my eyes getting worse, they are only around £10 or so on Amazon:
