    Good advice FG. I think I will be checking the wires as much as anything to see if they could be re-used with better polythene in the future.

        Bloody hell. I think I'm getting a polytunnel!
        Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made
        By singing-'Oh how beautiful!" and sitting in the shade,
        While better men than we go out and start their working lives
        At grubbing weeds from gravel paths with broken dinner-knives. ~ Rudyard Kipling

          I'm not sure if I'm lucky or unlucky....I mean, I would love to live out in the sticks, away from the dreadful hustle and bustle of town life, but I can do a circular walk incorporating a visit to Poundland, Poundworld and Poundstretcher in one and a half hours. Two hours would allow a mooch through Wilkinsons too.

            O so you're telling us about Poundland now BM - you must be making a fortune recommending all these companies to us grapes

            That's somewhere else I'll have to go to tomorrow now - best raid the piggy bank first I suppose

                Well they have holes in courtesy of 3 cats giving themselves a pedicure (Claw in net, stretch claw and lick between toes) and daughters dog very pleased to see me coming home from work, but he lives in Manchester now.

                Fine enough to stop carrot fly you reckon? They are plain - no pattern.

                        I am just glad this link doesn't work on my phone

                        Anyway, I hate going to pound land!
                        I always get this childish urge to ask the staff the price of stuff as I walk past it.

                        I know, act your age not your shoe size

                                Ooh, I want some Snowdrops & Bluebells

                                Shame they didn't have any bamboo canes though. Need some for my peas & toms.
