Polytunnel project.

[Darwin.]

I've got a lot of little (and 1 very large) projects going on in the garden this year, this is the first one I've finished (almost).It took me about 4 days in total to do it and it was back breaking work, it's not terribly impressive by some peoples standards but based on my poor DIY skills I feel a real sense of achievement.

I dont have a before picture but there's one at the end of the first day and the other two were taken an hour ago.







I have to clean my little bench and get my dwarf fruit tree for the big container then things will look better. Once he multiplanters are full and green shoots start popping up all over the place it'll be lovely to relax in it for a while every now and again.

Any suggestions on what to put in the hanging baskets would be welcomed. I had a few failed experiments in them last year along with a cherry tomatoe that was very tasty and some tasteless strawberries. I'm half considering flowers for a few to bring in the bees and what ever else likes them.

Grow all my tumbler toms in hanging backets have done for years.

Thats Tumbler mind not Tumbling Tom which are no where near as tasty.

I tried growing peas in one of them last year thinking if they grew up they might grow down too. They didn't.

Fuschia looks like a bush we had as kids, we used to pull the flowers off and suck what we called honey out of the bottom. We always got in trouble for it, not sure if that was because we were destroying flowers or because we were sucking on plants that might be dirty.

Great job Darwin......fancy a trip to Liverpool to make me one! Was it a kit? Or from scratch?

I didn't make the tunnel, just did tidied it up, did the raised beds and the little stoned area.

Looks really good Darwin - well done you

That looks great. Hope I can get my polytunnel looking half as good.

Looks good enough to me

Looks good! Can I ask how much to buy that?

Love the seating area, but you appear to be missing a drinks table, to rest your pimms on whilst you pretend you're abroad!

It came to about €1400 I think with extras. One door is standard but I got the second one, the cross bars don't come on the 10' models either and I added them. The wood, multi planters, black covering and stones and compost/perlite obviously need to go in top if that then to finish it off.
