Polytunnel!

It's just a wee one cos I can't afford a proper greenhouse but finally I've got a polytunnel! :-) Length 2.5m x 2m wide and is 2m high.  It cost me £48.90 from Ebay with free delivery.  I watched loads of Youtube videos of people buying similar ones and what they thought about the quality.  I picked up lots of tips re digging trenches etc to anchor it to the ground.

It was pretty straightforward to construct by myself.  I only needed The Teenager to help me lift it into place and pull the plastic over it as he's much taller than me!!

I dug a trench all around the sides to bury the overhanging plastic.  I weighted it down with bricks then filled it in again.  I find digging very sore on my back so I took my time with this bit.

I've also strategically placed some big pots to help anchor it down too.  I had a bit of leftover scaffolding plank that was exactly the right size for a 'doormat' to weigh down the excess flap of the door.  I think I'll paint it with my pink paint! ;-)

And here's the view from above.  It backs onto the chicken run so might protect them a bit from the wind and rain.

Now I need to get a move on with my plants and seeds and fill it up with veggies :-)
