    Started work in preperation for my greenhouse today but I am getting a bit emotional about it all as it means I will never have another horse and I keep seeing all these pictures of old people in greenhouses - WOMEN!

    anyway this is where it is going

    It started off being 6ft X 8ft, then grew to 14ft 6 inch X 6ft and now has grown to 14ft 6inch X 8ft 6 inch so I have ordered it real quick before Martin changes his mind!

    I'd love a greenhouse that big, my flowers have to fight for space with tomatoes and cucumbers, then the in-laws want a bit, luckily the kiddies don't venture in, apparently there are big spiders in there :D :D :D

    The site looks huge now we have taken all fencing down and I can see we will have the same problem with weeds comming in from the field. Some of the nettle roots were 1 inch thick!

    Fantastic, Waco! That's a very good size. You must be delighted with it, and be planning what's going in already (like cacti!!) :D
