As it was suggested I introduce myself on another thread I got engrossed in, here goes.
I'm in North Pembrokeshire, 600ft up, facing North/North West can see the sea about 10 miles away. Quite new to gardening although farmed for years (odd I know), got a tunnel this year to keep me sane during a layoff from work, loved it and now want to bring a bit of field into shape.
Totally impressed by the tunnel - it's dry! Additionally though, it has been so productive. We joked that if we saved a £ a week it would pay for itself in 10 years. Despite a late start (it was June before it was up), we started saving up to £10/week on veg very quickly and, more importantly, still are. As well, there is veg and fruit in the freezer which has been a big, mostly empty bread store for too long to remember. Not all of this came from the tunnel because once I got started I was sticking veg into any spare bit of ground and picking any fruit I could see.
If I had to choose between my Kindle and my tunnel I'd split in two.

You can also put your hammock and your wet laundry in your polytunnel, so saving on erm tumble drying bills

welcome !

Welcome to the vine - now I'm not sure how to say that name and if I can't say it I can't spell it...

I love Pembrokeshire. Have been going there for years. The area between Fishguard and St Davids is particularly stunning. When I win the lotto that's where I'll go. Already plan to have ashes scattered there as the kids know the way off by heart. I work for a company that gives you 50% off your funeral plan as an employee! LOL what are they trying to say?

Maiden name is welsh (So I'm told)

Welcome. Enjoy.

Try mark-og-ithe (k like loch)-- horse riding - it sound nicer than marchogwyr - horse rider.

I just walked out of a job twenty plus years ago. All a bit scary but I've never regretted it.

Welcome to the vine!

Actually no. Up until now that has felt a bit too sad. Like why would I take them? I know what it looks like but now I've got the perfect excuse! Of course it is a bit quiet at the moment but I will see what I can do. In the summer my kids used to come and say "It looks like something out of a magazine" which was nice and also true. Marigolds should be compulsory just for the colour. Next year though they are all going in pots not the beds so I can just keep moving them around as I need the space. This is not advertising in any way moderators, but Mark Gatter and Andy McKee's book "Grow your own food in the poly tunnel" has been a fantastic refence book and means I have got things growing in there for the winter months. At the minute I'm just hoping that what turned out to be a cape gooseberry (and not chinese lanterns - not my error) will ripen. It's covered in fruit. It's too big to fleece up but night temperatures are still above 4 to 5 C. Any way enough.
