Default Second Hand - Local Paper

My mum spotted one in the local newspaper for free, just had to be dismantled and transported, which myself and my dad did with ease.

Guess it depends if you have a van available and a couple of bodies to dismantle, but can't get much cheaper than that

check out the freecycle website, they have all sorts of things to give and swap, its really good, go to your local garden centre see if they have any damaged ones, i got one 6x6 and the base really cheap, all i had to do was replace some of the glass. My local window company got me the glass for next to nothing. Bit cheeky i know but it does work

I got it from greenhousewarehouse.co.uk...it was on sale, and it said 3 in stock when I ordered it this afternoon. It's polycarbonate, but I figured that was the best for me as there are quite a few balls come flying over our hedges, and also my stepson's ball control is not that great either!

Can't wait! Am very excited.....but is it too late to start growing things in it?

Default 6*4 Greenhouse

I purchased a 6x4 greenhouse via Wilko.co.uk for £225 but beware, its actually shipped by Waltons and got worst customer service ever...6 weeks for missing part then finally sent me another and tried to harge me for 2.

you can plant a lot of things now lettuce in pots spring onions cucumbers (outdoor variety) coleus and as soon as they are in the shops daffodils for xmas
also potatoes for xmas
and you could start some perrennials for flower next year

pot on any strawberry runners and put them in to give a good boost
you ghse will heat up and down a lot in the summer so water early and late and water the floor in the mornings
