.... It's a simple enough question though Should I take on another plot to grow my Chrysanths and Dahlia's on along with a Polytunnel & some fruit trees or should I strugle on with just the one plot?

Looking pretty convincing, Nick!
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be? -
thought I'd better vote

Hi Nick!
To quote from your own advice about greenhouses,
'I started with 8'x6' ran out of room
added 8'x4' coldframe ran out of room
added 12'x3' coldframe ran out of room
bought a 12'x8' greenhouse ran out of room
put my old one back up running out of room'
It sounds to me as though you should be seriously looking at the second plot, from what you've said above you have enough plans on what to fill it with, you have already said a couple of times you'd like a polytunnel, and if you're struggling for room now, then next year will only be worse!
We took on a second half plot cos we had run out of room, we've just got our second glass greenhouse cos the 8' by 10' wasnt big enough, it sounds to me as tho you now need more room too! Go for it Nick!
Blessings

Your right Mrs D, I've got the plot sort of earmarked already part of it was dug last year so that should be OK I can just whizz over it with a rotavator and then plant the suf out into that. I'v fancied having a few fruit trees and the guy on the plot next to this one has some as well so that gives me the excuse.
I'd just about made up my mind but was hopig some one would come up wit a good reason why I shouldn't

Take two . It will save looking for another next year.
There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore and who always will. Don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it in your future.Comment

The amount of time you spend on here, you've obviously got the time for another plot, Nick!!!!!

Interesting that no-one thinks you are a daft bugger nick.
We've now got our third plot (it's actually two smaller ones that run together) - unsurprisingly requested because we had run out of room. And that without yet putting up a greenhouse or polytunnel.
Bright Blessings

Are the plots beside each other Nick and is there much to do to them?

13 plots apart Snadger. My current one is 42 ( the answer to life, the universe etc etc) and the one I'm looking at is 57 (heinz varietiesOriginally posted by Snadger View PostAre the plots beside each other Nick and is there much to do to them?) There's nothing to do to No42 as it is either planted or waiting for the rain to stop so I can finish planting.
No57 was partially dug last year apart from one area that is tall grass but as I was thinking of fruit trees I could just strim this off and then look at it to see what lurks beneath and maybe just mow it then plant trees in the back end ( might make sitting a tad awkward)
The two beds for Chrysanths and Dahlia's would be larger than I've got space for at the moment (about twice as much if not more) and then there is space for the Polytunnel & maybe a shed half way up - although I don't really need a shed on the plot as it's about 45 seconds walk away fromm 42 !! and if it rains I can go in the polytunnel.
I suspect you are all being nice reallyOriginally posted by Earthbabe View Post
