Update on Greenhouse.
- Up date. Now the base is finished we have started on the construction of the GH. Son put the frame base together and we have put my potting ben inside that as once the GH is up we won't be able to get it in. My son said the frame will be completed tomorrow and on Monday he will put the glass in, that should be fun just pray it's not windy when the glass goes in.
When the GH is up I then have to bring the path up level with the concrete base as there's a four inch difference in height. I have some slabs to go in the front which will bring the level up where the GH door will be.
Before we can put the GH together we have to cut back more tree's, Ivy, Passion flower, Russian Vine, all coming over from the people at the back of us.

You'll have some fun in there on wet days, take a chair, cup of coffee, with a lid, magazine, feet up on the step on the bench. You’ll be made up 🙂
I only have my one son now no OH and no grandsons or son-in-laws so it's down to just the two of us.
I am really looking forward to using the GH but think it will be next year before it really comes into it own.
I've just ordered a Sentry Shed (my birthday presie!) which is a flatpack so that will be fun - not!
My son bought one of these and it took us just over 2 hrs to put together it's that light I can move it and the two of us could lift it. With the stuff in it it won't get blown over. Getting it home has the hardest part as he wouldn't listen to me about how to secure it to the roof rack and it nearly came of, people were waving, pointing at it and shouting to tell him. I was following behind him in my car flashing my light and hooting at him he did slow up and turn of the main road and stop so it could be tied they way I suggested.
When you do it can I suggest you put all the screws in a small pot, easier to get to and you won't lose any also take your time don't rush.
Enjoy your birthday present and have a lovely Birthday.
How's the GH coming on NannaBoo?
Just popped into the garden and took this to show you it's 6 x 10 foot. Son bought us a 100 ltr water butt from wickes which will go awards the back where you can see the breeze block with black trays on top. It was on offer at £15 and came with a base and downpipe connecter which wont fit the GH but will fit the house downpipe. I just asked him how long the offer is on for and he said it finished yesterday. Lyn I have a box that will have my to propagating books and another on how to build things for the garden. I really can't wait for it to be finished now but as said before it's the weather holding things up. You can see the base is higher than the path that's my next job. Tempted to spray the fences blue to reflect the light. My potting table had to go in before we could even start to build the frame. Will post a photo of it when it's completed.
The frame is sitting out there with no glass and while it's nice to have the good weather I just want it cooler so we can get on a glaze it as I'm itching to get it sorted. I can't do much to the garden as all my gardening items is in boxes under cover, we can't even sit out on the patio as that were it all is stored.
