A good time to be a gardener, a good time to be alive






After only 4 weeks of putting the glass in and finishing the structure, the greenhouse is looking really good.
The weather has been awfull these past two weeks but dispite this everything is growing along at a phenominal rate.
I plan to start sowing salad crops for the autumn and putting them under the staging as you can see with one of the boxes already.
All the outdoor beds are looking good too.
The shallotts need to come out soon to make room for the next crop.

Things are looking up


At last the glass is being put into the greenhouse. All except three panes. This is beacause one of the vents is smaller than the rest and have to get a piece of glass cut for this. I have to leave out the other two panes to enable me to fit the vent piece.
Several pieces of glass were cracked and a few are too badly marked so I guess I will have to replace about 6 to 10 pieces.
No glass will be put in the partition yet. This I will leave until autumn.
