Hi folks ,

Well yesterday I sewed some more seeds, flowers..... today i will probably do some more but need to get the base for g/house done so we can start building!


Re greenhouse..... well it arrived yesterday and when i examined the boxes realised i had ordered the wrong one as i wanted glas and i have pvc ! well it was a brill price so will have to do ... anyone know anything about this type??/ Tips would be most grateful as i have only had glass before??

Jen, the chances are that it's actually uPVC, which will be a benefit in the sunny weather :thumbup; uPVC does help reduce harmful ultraviolet radiation to some degree ;) These days, it's usually very high quality, too :) You also have the advantages of it being harder to break but cheaper to replace panes that do get damaged ;) At the height of summer, you may need some screening/whitewash to protect your plants from overheating, but that's true of glass as well :) The biggest downside is the light weight, if you get severe gales :o As long as it's anchored firmly and the wind can't get into it, it should be fine though :thumbup;

Steve :)

? Sewed seeds? Should this be in the sewing thread! :r I know you must have meant sowed! I'm being picky, I'm sorry :unsure:

It's too windy up here for pvc greenhouses, although they are probably stronger now, but about 20 years ago, our neighbour had one, but it ripped to shreds and the frame just bent out of shape during gales :blink: I would echo what Steve says, and find somewhere protected from the wind and fasten it down securely. Good luck with the gardening, it's a bit wet here today and still too cold for gardening! <_<

:groan Sorry your hubby is :ill: Anasty feeling being giddy, perhaps he has an ear infection which is easier to cure than vertigo I think.

Hope you're wearing your nurses uniforma nd black tights! :r
