We have been on the lookout for a greenhouse for Site 2 for some time. I had placed a wanted ad on our staff intranet site at work and was delighted when someone responded saying they had an old greenhouse they were looking to dispose of. Cloddigger and Dad went to have a look and were thrilled to discover a 30 year old, hardwood greenhouse complete with solid base in excellent condition. They spent a morning last weekend dismantling it and then today hired a van and delivered it on site and then put it all back together again. The results are very pleasing and it will prove an invaluable space for bringing on seedlings and cuttings. So, big, big Thanks to ND (you know who you are!) and expect some produce to come your way in the near future.

are you sure that bit goes there?
ta-dah! The finished item. Well done to Cloddigger and Dad for your splendid efforts!!!
Hello! Thanks for popping by and don't worry about wiping the mud off your shoes. If you like what you read, then please feel free to leave a "scrap in the compost bin" especially if you have any helpful advice to offer an allotment newbie! For anyone who wants to read more about me, scroll on down to the "Waffly Welcome" - enjoy :D
Hi thanks for dropping by. I hope you enjoy this blog as I take you through our trials and tribulations as we try to get an allotment and actually grow stuff.
So who are we? Well, I'm Michelle and I had the bright idea of getting an allotment much to the shock of the whole family as I have no interest in domestic gardening whatsoever. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE sitting out and admiring my lovely garden at home but I can't take any of the credit for it. That's all down to my wonderful, ever-patient husband who I refer to as "Cloddigger" in this blog. This isn't a derrogatory name by any means - it merely pays credit to all the digging and heavy work he does as well as preserving his anonymity.
Other random players include our two sons - collectively "The Boyz"; our ageing Black Labrador - "The Dog"; our generous friends Deb and Dan, and my Mum and Dad - "My Folks". There may be others making the odd appearance.
Well that's the end of the Welcome Note, apologies for getting a bit waffly - with any luck my blog entries will be more interesting!!! Oh, and please feel free to leave comments by clicking on the "scraps in the compost bin" link at the end of each post.
It looks really sturdy and a job Well done.
ReplyDeleteI went over to my plot yesterday and my greenhouse had been completely reclocated by the high winds this week. I am so gutted.
