Christmas Tree 3997 Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 Gardman Polytunnel Gardman have brought out a great steel framed polytunnel for £99. We got ours from Clays, washington but its also in highly gate morpeth. Its 3 metres long by 2 metres wide and about 7ft tall with a strong polythene cover over a very sturdy steel frame. A great buy at the price to allow for lots of toms, peppers etc. P.S. The picture definitely does not do it justice. They're on ebay for £80 with free delivery. I bought something similar last year and the first strong winds we had it just evaporated, how tough is this CT? It's a decent size like. Aye I saw them on ebay however for the sake of £19 I wanted the peace of mind of being able to take it back and get it sorted if not right. As it happened when we open the box and assembled it the plastic was coming away from the the zip. We got it changed within an hour. It seems very tough to me, but time will tell. Our allotment neighbour bought one online for £50 which looks pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 Well, spent yesterday sorting out the back garden. Got one bed planted up with Courgettes, cucumbers and Pumpkins with a row of peas in the other one. Moved the plastic greenhouse thingy outside to harden off some of the remaining odds and ends tho no idea where my 25 odd tomato plants are going to go but it is a shame to chuck them having raised the little blighters. (Family or church sale no doubt). Now just got to weed the patio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 Missed out last year due to the criminally bad weather but determined to get some stuff away this year. Great day yesterday changing it from the weed infested overgrown patch into a lush come and plant be bed. Out early at work today to get some extra pennies for veg plants ( can't be arsed with seeds this year), herbs for the pots and some flowers. Hopefully in the garden by lunchtime weather permitting.

Tooj 17 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Couldn't think of another relevant thread to put this on so I thought that I will ask it here. My dad's been going on about ages about how he wants a BBQ pit in his garden. In all honesty he's absolutely terrible at any sort of DIY (I'm even worse) and when my grandad was alive he used to do it all for him. I was wondering if anybody on here has any experience of building a BBQ pit? So I can do some research for him to save him the bother and it will be a nice little surprise for him.

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 Champion afternoon in the garden while the boy sleeps. Managed to get carrots, lettuce and peas in. Starting to look decent again apart from my unfinished false grass. love this time of the year when everything is getting going. Leaves on the trees, flowers on the clematis, apple trees and strawberrys and all the perennials fighting their way out of the soil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
