    Very very nice. Can't see any oranges though :D
    I'd kill for one of those.

    Impressive renovation project [​IMG] Illustrates well the need for maximum light and a heat retaining south facing wall, ventilation and the support structure for shading blinds used on scorching summer days.

    Very envious and I hope you will manage to get at least some citrus growing in future. A lot of work has been done on cold tollerant varieties so depending on your location you may be able to get away with minimal or no winter heating.

    I don't covet oxen, or asses [of any variety], or anyones' wife, but I think I've well and truly shattered the commandment on this! Looks an admirable job.
