Bravo Homegrown I just don't know how you managed to move house with all that load of 'stuff' - I really admire you! We've moved many times and each time we have more and more stuff to move but this time we're staying put! Your garden is coming along nicely in those planters and tubs. :thumbright:

Tha'ts just sooo impressive Homegrown. :thumbright: :thumbright: :sunny: I'm sure all that hard work will pay dividends with all the plants you can grow in there. :flower: Well done, you should be proud of yourself. I have to agree with pennylane though, you've got windows there better than my actual windows. :oops: :lol:

The greenhouse looks fab homegrown!
We made something similar last year out of window frames friends of ours gave us. We got a load of free aluminium strips given to us a while back and have made a wind break fence around our veggie garden and hubby just recently finished another greenhouse out of it.
I'm loving all this wintry weather at the mo as it reminds me of weather around xmas in the UK but I can't wait for spring to get back out and planting again.

yeah I know what you mean sky, I lost a lot of crops at the last house in spring and summer due to extreme winds, so I am looking forward to spring and a chance to really get producing crops again, especially zuchini which is my favourite vege. By the way where in NZ are you located?
