    Hi Joolz
    Dying to know if you got it up! The trouble with greenhouses is that they're never big enough, you always wish you had room for another (but then of course, you do, lucky thing) and, they can turn a hobby into an obsession! I love pottering in mine, especially when it's raining outside - gardening and keeping dry ... heaven.

    Let us know how you get on.

    Thanks Barbaby, and Fidgetsmum.

    Phew, I'm exhausted! Yes, my little walk in Growhouse is now up and running. :yho: It's brilliant, this is what it looks like. [​IMG]
    Note, the lady in the picture isn't me, it's a picture taken from Suttons.

    I absolutely LOVE it, and it'll be a great introduction for me to get the hang of gardening and growing. I'n hoping to get hubster to take a couple of piccy's tomorrow, whilst the weather is still with us. (crosses fingers)
    I've also planted up my seed Maris Peer's today. So wish me luck with those too! Should I have covered the tubers completely with the soil and compost that I've used? Or should I leave the 'eyes' poking out at the top? At the moment, I've left the eyes proud of the soil, and have given them a rumming good watering. I'm so hoping that they take, and grow well. But I'm also sure I'm bound to chuff it up from time to time. The best way to learn is by mistakes!! That's what my mom always said anyway, bless her.

    I'm now looking forward to having a go at growing from seed, though I've yet to work out what! :lollol:
    And I'm also excitedly waiting for the plug plants to be delivered to my Mother in Law, so I can bring them on too.

    So, I'll just pop out and take Luna (profile piccy) out from the growhouse. She's rather fond of 'camping' is Luna, so I dare say she'll be helping me to potter about in there. k-l

    Thanks everyone for all your good wishes. And Fidgetsmum, yes, I know just what you mean about it becoming an obsession, I think I'm already half way there!:thmb:

    Great greenhouse.

    PS - Cover them there spuds to a depth of about 4".

    Thanls Figetsmum, I did that today.
    My Primrose Rosebuds plug plants arrived today.:yho: So I've spent a very enjoyable afternoon planting them on into their trays, and they're now having a little rest in the grow house.
    There are more plants to come, though as Mother In Law won't tell me what they are, it'll be a nice surprise.
    I also brought some Daffodil and Allium bulbs over the weekend. They're being kept until I'm ready to plant them out though. Might have to dig over another area of the garden to accommodate all the Daffs, as I have rather a lot! :hehe:
