Lots looking good in your tunnel :o)
Nice to have help from Owen and Jessie.

Your plants look nice and strong in the tunnel. You'll be able to grow lots in it this yeear. Good luck.

Jessie looks a bit worried about it all! I suppose she hasn't seen one before! Has she been inside yet?

Good luck...you will find the poly tunnel invaluable !

That's a brilliant aid for growing things from seed. I'm very envious. I bet Owen thinks it's a great adventure like having a big tent in the garden!

tanx blodyn.. and de botanic gardens are 1 hour from my house... id easly live there lol there lovely. thou id died n went to heaven!!!!!!!

yes spritz, she went into it today, i new she had been in cos 2 plants had been knocked over, but its new to us all so we see how we get on lol

yeah terra, owen watered all de plants for me whilst i potted on de peas.. they look ok i think. im hopinby putting them out they wont die. but its quite warm inside. i got de wood to build a door. thats next on de list.. my list just gets longer haha

i think so to bonkers lol heres to a happy growth in all my seeds ........

thats a great idea sandra,, im gona do that with my baskets.. i love making them up.. last year i put so much in them, no need for that now.. iv learned they grow out n down lol

good for u jacque, thats a great idea, i have to learn how to collect seeds from plants,, im loving all de learning process.. one day il be a great gardener lol. im learning trees in my course, n de latin names. iv now learned 15.. have 50 to do in total... they kinda get easier to say each time i get new ones....

de best latin named tree iv learned is de sequiodendrom gigantium.. its de giant redwood. a beautiful tree. has anyone seen it?

we got given some seeds for cgristmas years ago. we have one little tree now. maybe plant it out this year.

Looking good,enjoy and well done with the Latin names.

tanx lincslass, i never realized how many der were lol every plant has one..

Goodness id never Remember All the Latin Names Adever09 , U sound like your doing really well on your Course :) Im sure ul become a Great Gardener with all the Knowlege from Your Course&Goy ;) lol :)

either do i lol der is to many.. my name is adrienne, so u can call me that if u want lol de course is great for learning me stuff. i get 5 new trees n plants in latin names every 2 weeks n i got to learn them. den we get brought up to them n she points at them n we have to write them down,, at first it was hard, but now its seems to be ok to learn them,,,

my old english teachers would be gobsmaked that not only can i read and remember some of these latin words but i have spell them too. the likes of sisyrinchiun and cryptomeria but it does get easier the more i write it down.lol

Yes Ade...09,
I know the polytunnels work out cheaper but unfortunately I live on a very windy corner at the bottom of a hill and the wind seems to get trapped and swirl round our garden. I had a greenhouse but the wind was so strong it not only smashed the glass but actually bent and twisted the frame very badly. So I replaced it with a potting shed. It's a compromise because it isn't as good for propgating as it doesn't let in so much light, but it is heavy enough not to get blown around. Even our brick wall was blown down 2 years ago!

we lost our greenhouse in the wind a few years ago, it got the better of the potting shed tooo. but we have more siccess with the tunnel. they do seem the best in a windy place.

Oh, that surprises me but I suppose if it should get damaged, it's easy and quite cheap to replace the cover as opposed to glass.

ours has two inch diamiter steel poles. from northern polytunels. their shape lets the wind roll over the top. we live right on the coast of the irish sea and have to deal with very string winds. the last cover lasted five years and we took it off becouse it was showing signs of wear and tare.
