Work in progress

Hi all,

I just need to cut a few paving slabs and continue them round the outside of the greenhouse, and I need to pick up some Perspex for the back to let light into the shed,

I am unsure if hedgehogs would be able to get in my garden, but I am thinking of adopting one in need of a good home, with this in mind I have built a little nest at the front, also bearing in mind they hibernate and I wouldn't want them waking up too early with the greenhouse being warmer so I've left plenty of gaps for air to circulate to keep it cool .

 

The greenhouse has come together quickly Martin, it won't be long before it's full of plants.

 

Thanks Sheal, yes I am pleased how quick its come together, but I needed to get on with it to get the best from it this year,

This was it, in the afternoon of the 10th of march , it was all ready dismantled when I bought it, I was doing a bit of for a while, yes I will be putting some sweat peas in tomorrow for starters , this is the greenhouse at its old home, it was advertised as a 6x4 .

 

It looks like you could have a door at both ends, I've only seen that on large greenhouses before. You say it was advertised as 6x4, I presume it's 8x6?

 

Yes I cant see any reason why not, I know nothing about them tbh, but I guess where it come from no expense would have to be spared, yes its a 8x6 .

 

I've just had another thought. The greenhouse may have been designed like that so two could be linked end to end to create an extention.

Love seeing the piccys you're garden's looking fab Martin with soooo many varieties of plants lotsa nectar for the buzzys and ......love the green green house very posh

 

What a transformation! Looking really good @martin-f

 

wow! i'm gobsmacked! now that's what i call a good pay off after all your hardwork and dedication. lovely lush lawn you've got there as well, what are you feeding that thing hahah!

 

Many thanks for all comments ,

Well my first feed last year was weed n feed, i didn't use an spreader and burnt patches all over it , i now manually weed ,

Once i had recovered the burnt patches i fed the borders and lawn every two weeks with this.

 

Your garden looked lovely Martin, you've worked hard on it. Let's wait and see what surprises you have in store for this year.

 

Thank you Sheal, i need to get some spring colour in place for next year, ive put lots of thought into the hedge that i wont see the benefit for a few years,

I've bought 20 landscaping sleepers today that will be with me tomorrow, my garden has a slope at the moment i didn't have the funds when i levelled and seeded it to do it, the bottom half of the garden will be a patio with a border all the way round the fence and summerhouse,

One of the windows in the summer house looks into the green house the summerhouse will be a fully functioning room when finished, me and the wife will be spending lots of time in there, my plan is to have a real fire in the SH with the flu going through the greenhouse to heat it up through the winter and some type of exotic plants in there, lots of plans and lots to do,

I will keep this thread updated as and when .
