I've ordered my greenhouse!

Yay!

I phoned the Greenhouse People today and ordered the greenhouse. I did it by phone as I wanted to see if they wold be able to deiliver it to the Den. A very nice lady on the other end of the phone said it shouldn't be a problem... hooray! I ordered toughened glass, and the ventilation pack which includes a louvre window and 2 auto openers. Wow!

The only downside is that I will have to wait 5-7 weeks for delivery (did I say that yesterday? Just ignore me if I'm rambling!) The nice lady said that it might arrive earlier and that she would make a note that I would like it ASAP.... we'll see - watch this space.

This is what I've ordered....


Aaah, diddy little piccy!

I'm sooo excited, I hope I don't have to wait forever for it as the whole idea of a greenhouse is to get some seedlings started off early. Keep your fingers crossed!

Which Greenhouse?

I had pretty much decided on the greehouse I wanted but then the minor hurricanes started (and flattened my Mums little greenhouse) and so I have had to have a rethink!

The original idea was to have a ploycarb greenhouse, mainly as my girls will be spending time at the den and I want it to be as safe as possible!

HOWEVER...... I also want to have a greenhouse, and contents, that are still standing at the end of the day so I am back to thinking about a glass one!

My Mum bought (bofore it blew over) a 6'x4' greenhouse. Once it was up it was TINY!!!!!!! So...... I decided that a 6'x8' would be a good size. One side to get all those little seedlings off to a good start and the other side to grow my cucumbers and tomatoes.

I have found a clearance glass greenhouse which is 6'x10' for less money than I was gonna spend on the polycarb one. For an extra £99 I can get it kitted out in toughened glass but Mr Dragon seems to think that we could get the glass coated in a film to protect it! It's the same stuff he had put on his car windows so watch this space to see what we end up doing!! Personally I think it could cost more than the toughened glass but we'll see!

This is the one I'm looking at (but not in green - that is an expensive option!!!! )

Apparently there is a 5-7 week wait for it which is a bit disappointing as I really want to get some seeds in but hey ho, if that's what it take then I will have to wait! Patience is a virtue (but not on an allotment apparently!!

I WANT TO GET SOME VEG GROWING!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!!!!!
