RE: Vinny's Allotment Plot - SarrissUK - 03-02-2022 Ahh it's soul destroying isn't it when it goes so badly? I was pondering getting a polytunnel for the garden, but we're quite exposed to the hills, and I worry that a polytunnel wouldn't be able to withstand the wind, unless I paid lots of money... so a solid greenhouse it is.

I am about to put a greenhouse, a polycarbonate one, at 90 degrees away from the prevailing winds - will that be enough, do you think?

My greenhouses are exposed - the old glass greenhouse will often get blown out/cracked panes. So poly may go to if it's exposed.

I'll do my best securing it lol RE: Vinny's Allotment Plot - Vinny - 18-02-2022 Squelched my way into the plot this morning to harvest some leeks. I lifted three large leeks with a trowel. Once I dug in and broke the roots I pulled the leeks out with a squelch leaving a pool of water where the poor sods had been! ![]() I need to find some leek and onion recipes online as I have quite a few leeks and stored onions. Onion bhaji's sounds canny and I wonder what leek bhaji's would be like? ![]() Must take a few peppers off my overwintered chillies at home and see if I can salvage a few seeds. They need to be started asap. The toms can wait a while yet though as I sowed mine far too early last year. Once bitten, twice shy as the saying goes! ![]() |
