Bargain Poly Tunnel
Popped into poundland at the weekend to see what gardening goodies they had, i ended up picking up a couple of these polytunnels.
they are 1.5m x 45cm x 45cm and cost…..you guessed it £1.
I was suprised at how sturdy they were for the money so im currently giving them a trial at warming the soil up before i plant my cabbage and broccoli seedlings in it.
They also had a some other cool stuff like 6m of irrigation hose for £1 … basically a little flat hose with lots of holes in that you put in your veg (or flower) beds and then when you want to water them just connect your hose too and turn on the tap.
I considered getting some and running it from my water butt, unfortuantley i couldnt figure out a way of traversing the path with the hose so decided against it.
anwyay here are a couple of pics of the poly tunnel….not particularly well erected but gives you a good idea of what its like.
All go in the garden
Firstly sorry for the lack of updates recently, it’s been rather hectic at work and at home….can’t complain though as i did manage to squeeze a couple of days hiking in the dales and on the moors in.
I’ve got loads more done in the garden since i last posted, i have now potted on my tomato plants, chilli seedlings and other veg along with planting my pea and bean plants out, sowing some sugar snap peas and raddish and having a general tidy round in the garden.
The carrots and onions are poking though and the greenhouse peas have started to flower.
I still have lots to do, and i still have to finish the coding for the main Chilli Up North Website, hopefully ill get a few hours one night this week to sort stuff out.
Anyway here are a few more pictures of the garden and seedlings.
