    Hi Cajary go for the biggest you can fit in those babies take a lot of room here are some of mine in a 20x10 p/tunnel they will be cut back when the next flush is complete but the pot will still take a lot of floor space, still loads of stuff to get in there.

    Thanks for your help and advice, guys. But it can't be any bigger than 4x4. I've only got a small garden.
    Walnut, I'll have to use a shoe-horn. The ones I grew from the seed you sent me are over-wintering in the front room. No way they're going outside!! [​IMG]

    My greenhouse cannot be any larger than 4 x 6 feet, mine has lasted 2 years and now the plastic cover is all ripped, so back to the drawing board? The frame is excellent green hard plastic, George bolted it to cemented area, he has suggested putting hard sheet perspex, I feel it will cost too much. Would like to have a sliding door, the zip was not great after one season!

    Walnut do you have a heater over winter in your polly tunnel [​IMG]

    Seriously, I wish this was mine instead of just working in it. How do you heat yours?

    Strongy that has me drooling I could live in there quite easily especially if the council was paying the heating bills,hi Brandy the tunnel is much too big to heat I built a smaller wooden frame tunnel inside the main tunnel put a bench in it with a 2ft tube heater under it this keeps it about 5deg. higher than the rest of the tunnel any escaped heat then helps keep the main tunnel that bit warmer.I have a 14 ft g/house lined wth bubble wrap in it there's a heat box with growlights, under that bench is a tube heater that is set to come on if it gets really cold this ensures the heat box copes then there's fan heater that keeps the rest of the g/house at 10c all my tender stuff is kept in there.

    Hi Walnut, thanks for the info, I have a small electric heater that I could use also two of the parafin heaters,they were ok one year, but what a chore filling up during the winter months. Need to sort myself out with another small greenhouse - Had a years rest from gardening, as it's been George's 80th year we have been living it up, off to the East Coast for a weeks rest,departing in one hour - more chat when we return - sorry not sure how to do the little pics, need more practice !

    Hi Anne I'll look forward to seeing your pictures, if you are having problems 'doing' photobucket look up the below thread and away you go.

    How to use photobucket.

    If I can master it anyone can! :D
