It'll not be big enough!!!!!! As Nick says though, doesn't matter what size you get it won't be big enough!
I remember my first 8 x 6 greenhouse, I had three tiers of plants up each side and the end, shelving and hanging baskets hung from the roof, it was like a tropical jungle inside and I had to almost get on my hands and knees to get into it!
Anyway, I'm happy for you and look forward to hearing about your adventures under glass!

I'm so pleased for you Lushlynn. I can feel your excitement. Hope you have many happy hours in there. Sounds as if you got the right chaps for sons in law.

Congratulations on your Greenhouse. Hope you have many happy hours seeding and planting. I have only had mine less than a month, and I love it. ...Lauren

Ahhhh we all think that Lynn, I started with an 8x6 then moved up to a 12 x 8 then put the 8 x 6 up and now I'm going to add a polytunnel to the list as well

Me too Nick, first year with my 10 x 8 and I can't move for seedlings! They are on the floor, every available space. Great isn't it.
