Re: Greenhouses

My greenhouse has double doors, the reason I chose glass over plastic is reinforced today, 60-70 mile an hour winds have destroyed some polytunnels nearby.

Re: Autumn Bits and Bobs.

Just had my last couple of strawberries in the greenhouse this morning and cut some grass again!! The Stawbs did have a couple of flowers on them, but I cut them off so any last bit of growing goes into the plants, they are new this year. so not over loading them.

We were cut off by the floods yesterday, but seemingly we can now get to Arbroath, but the roads north to Montrose are still flooded, the river locally is almost eight feet up and the Tay in Perth is almost 19 feet above summer level and parts of the fair city are flooded.
