| Welcome to the 'vine', blutone. If your grow house is one of these tubular framework and polythene cover thingies, make sure it's tied to something immovable as they are prone to get airborn in strong winds and watch the temperature on hot summer days, because they are small, the temp inside gets very hot very quick. |

| Welcome Blutone, this place gets really addictive, a bit like growing your own I suppose I've just put up my 4 tier greenhouse thingy, and Mr LJ is going to fasten it to the house with some curtain wire and hooks, so he tells me! It's fairly sheltered but I don't want to take any chances! I've just moved my chitting potatoes into it! more light and much cooler than the utility room window.

| Welcome blutone. I cant condone your choice of team however you did us a big favour a short while ago. Be very careful with your growhouse, I lost one earlier on this year. I tied it down, put soil and gravel and even sleepers on the base, and it still went. Not only did the plastic go, but the metal frame was trashed as well. Enjoy the vine though, very friendly

well, i might have to keep that a bit under-wraps for the time being...just till i see how the land lies, like  i'll just say this...the growing season might have only just begun, but ours might well be over, lol i don't really wanna derail or take over the Blutone's thread...so i might end up becoming a bit of a clueless pest round these parts  Last edited by citygirl; 16-03-2008 at 07:15 PM. |
