It's looking lovely and shiny.....and empty.
Off on hols soon, so I won't start sowings until I get back as I won't have anyone to water for me. Can't wait!

Yep, it's up and ready for use. We scrubbed every single pane of glass yesterday before clipping them on.

So satisfying seeing your growing space safe from the weather.
Forgot to ask, is it in the garden at home?
If it is and if you can afford it, I thoroughly recommend running mains electricity to it and fitting an outdoor switch & light and a double outdoor socket.
Properly done with armoured cable etc isn't cheap.
Then get a couple of Stewart heated propagators and a really cheap growbag "greenhouse".
Put growbag jobbie in glasshouse and fit one heated propagator on its bottom shelf.
Ideal seed germination, that warms a twin shelf seedling area, before hopefully adding some frost prevention to the glasshouse.
Second propagator for stuff that needs better light.

Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

Yes, it's at home. At the top of the garden. I'd love to be able to have a heated propogator, but I think that could be an Ask Too Far. It's taken years of working on Mr Piglet for him to agree to a greenhouse at all. Still, never say never!

I would like to think that Mr Piglet is not such a Boar that he won't let you. It would be rather like building a house and then not furnishing it, is how I see it. In for a penny, in for a pound. I should also like to think that building a greenhouse together is a good way of cementing a relationship. Not that it worked for me, mind: soon after I built a greenhouse for Mrs Leiter, she decided that that the captain of her ship was in fact an, erm, Ship's Captain.
Allotment, but little achieved.
