Grow Your Own Magazine

Got a greenhouse yesterday. So chuffed.
Was blathering on about freecycle yesterday at work when one of my ward sisters asked how it all worked so i told her. Then she asked if she would get rid of her old greeenhouse that way so I told her it would be far quicker for her to give it to me!
She says its mine as long as I dismantle it, which is ok. It does have two broken panes of glass but that not a big problem. Don't know what size it is, and don't care just so happy to have got one at last! Will get her a nice bottle of vino as a thank you.
OH happycos once we have it and get it up. I can shift all the trays etc off the kitchen table.

No one at work understands how eciting a greenhouse can be, let us know how you get on, Mandy

Well done!!!
Perfect timing too eh?
We were given ours from a guy with a plot at the other end of the lotties. We removed the glass and 4 of us carried the intact frame across all the lotties inbetween and over their fences!! Should have taken a photo!!!!

Well done!
If you can be bothered, write on the panes before you take them out (lipstick is good). label each side S (south), N, E or W, and then numbers, so you get N1, N2 and so on. It will make putting it back together much easier, like a jigsaw.

Nice One Kirsty!! Nowt like getting a freebie, and especially good when tis a greenhouse!

Have lots of fun dismantling / moving and erecting it, make sure you've a good pair of gloves and try not to make any blood sacrifices, it can hurt quite badly, I know from experience!

I had resigned myself to saving up for one too having been too slow on the freecycle and missing out a few times.

Excellent tip, will do that as I am a complete first timer at this greenhouse game.

At the mo I only plan to put trays of seedlings etc in it. Until I know the exact dimensions I'm trying hard not to make too many plans for it!! I'm still smiling a lot and to add to the good stuff, my lovely OH bought me another of the 12.50 minis from Focus today.

Congratulations Kirsty B. Hope you have many happy hours in there. You'll soon have it stuffed.
