A New Greenhouse is Born

The new greenhouse is now up, though the mess around it is unfortunatley still there.




















The greenhouse was a breeze to put up. It only took 2 hours to put up the frame which comes in only 6 pieces. Sliding in the glass took a bit longer, but everything was up in two days. We were lucky with the weather as some wind would have cause some dificulty with the roof panes which are quite large.

To avoid the weeds we had in the old greenhouse , we built a raised bed, which will be used for tomatoes. and paved the rest. We used recycled slabs from an old patio near the house and, to avoid cutting the slabs, gravel at the edges.

The old green house is relocated to the allotment, but this is another story ....
