Bad weather

I'll start off by saying that everything I planted out is now flat...

Same here Dave, even the fish pond looks as though it's been 'power hosed'.
This section is a useful addition to the forum BTW, I'm looking forward to some useful tips.

Cheers

Never mind Dave maybe by the time you get back from your hols they will have perked up.
I was about to put the runner beans in yesterday, I'll have to wait until our new ornamental lake disappears.

If the bad weather keeps..plant your own rice........

It's been too cold and wet here to plant much. I did manage to get some beans, corn, beets, carrots, okra, spinach, and dill in I have my pumpkins, squash, tomatoes and peppers staged in my green house ready to go next week. This week I hope to get my potatoes in the ground.

After last years debacle where my efforts to make a cheap Polytunnel type greenhouse were scuppered by the weather:



This year we are going more structural, using the principal of the rigid equilateral triangle to build a giant cloche. When I say giant, each timber is 3 meters long

I'd post the photo, but Imageshack is sulking

Are there we are:

No door????

Dave lives in there, grazing on the produce............

Give me chance Ian There will be two further supports at the front with a 1m wide lift up, 8 foot high door, between them and above that will be a temperature controlled vent. There will be a single bracing support at the back. The ridge pole is actually 4.4m long but partly hidden in the Hazel tree, allowing for future extension. The plastic to clad it in was rescued from last years disaster as it is guaranteed UV stable for 4 years.
