Finally got around to building the greenhouse I got for my birthday at the weekend. Some engineering project, no wonder I went off meccano as a kid. Anyhow, there it is, all four foot six square of it round the back of the house. One piece of glass was too big so have made a couple of trips to Exeter Glass on Sowton Industrial Estate to get a bit shaved off, great company, they didn't even charge me. So this weekend I'm all ready to get my seed planted, got tumbling cherry tomatoes (which will go in three hanging baskets in the end, alicante tomatoes, italian plum tomatoes (will try bottling those), chilllis, Chris from work has offered pepper plants (in addition to the 12 broad bean plants he's already given me) and there's cauliflowers too. I read somewhere that it was a good idea if you don't have much veg garden space to concentrate on things you eat all the time so have salad leaves and rocket (I must spend 6 or 7 quid a week on those at the moment) to go in and cut at all summer (free seeds from the Daily Mirror collected from Somerfield - bit disorganised - the branch in town didn't have any seeds at all and the one near home never knew what they were supposed to be handing out, so I ended up with two sets of vegetable and herb seeds which is what I wanted anyway so no problem there). And I've got one of those turned wood paper potters where you can make planting pots out of newspaper instead of buying peat pots or using those throwaway plastic seed trays.
