The new Greenhouse

What a wonderful gift! I do hope you'll both get much enjoyment from it.

It looks lovely! The man that put up ours was exactly the same. I was very pleased and impressed at how hard and fast he worked. I hope your hubby gets a lot of pleasure from his new greenhouse. :)

Its lovely how thouģhtful of your daugter buying this for your OH. I hope he has many happy days in there and hope he gets well soon.

What a fantastic present. I do hope your husband is better soon and able to enjoy it...and the rest of the garden,

Besides a beautiful garden, you have wonderful children too, Eirlys! No doubt it will bring you and your Hubby a lot of happy hours. x

It must feel like you are surrounded by nature when you're inside the greenhouse. It's lovely, I would spend all my time in there I think.

That looks absolutely beautiful, we all know how good gardening is for our well-being so hopefully this will help your OH tremendously. Well done on having such a lovely family!

Hope you get lots of pleasure from your lovely gift. I hope that your husband's health improves and he can also enjoy it too. His special chair is a wonderful idea.

Lovely greenhouse, thoughtful offspring and a great 'perching stool' too! I love the trailing Pelargonium and wish your OH many happy hours pottering in the greenhouse.

And happy hours plant hunting !

Oh, thank you ALL. The greenhouse is supposed to be a distraction as OH gets "down" when he finds he can't do things. He has always been a workaholic and to suddenly not be able to do things has been a culture shock.

Younger Son was here tonight for well over an hour seeing to the watering of the back garden. Sadly some of the very large shrubs at the front are beginning to suffer. Our hose pipe doesn't extend to them and I can't carry watering cans!

I never thought I would miss rain so much!

Cant you mulch around your plants which will feed them too or place pea gravel around them to keep moister in for the plants . We havent seen rain here for weeks.

What a gorgeous greenhouse! I bet you will take a share in enjoying it too... Agree with Shirley, its a very kind and thoughtful present and we all seem to agree in wishing your OH many happy hours in it.

That's very nice Eirlys. I hope you and husband will have good use out of it.

I am de-cluttering as well as Eirlys did. Its something we can do while waiting for the rain to renew our interest in growing plants.
If anyone has lightweight camping kit in the cupboard that needs a new home, I know a cycling club where a leader wants to set up a camping group for youngsters. Send me PM for details.

Thrupennybit: All the big shrubs have mulch around them but the heatwave has gone on for a long time. Daughter and I watered the really thirsty ones this afternoon as it was cloudy here.

Steragram: We can recommend an Alton greenhouse. It is smaller than the ones we had but, hopefully, is manageable. I really fancied sitting inside with an comfy chair and a book!

Hywel: It's my husband's "toy". I get to water the capillary mats if I'm good!!

Diane: Four boxes filled with clutter ready to go. No camping gear, sadly. All ours went when we sold our caravan. Worthy cause.

What a smashing GH......and what a thoughtful family, I hope your OH is on the mend, and will spend many an hour in there, my OH would love one!!
