New greenhouse (many pics)

Post by aajoo »

Well not so new (2 years) but now that is full of plants and following a suggestion of Daiv, I show you how I builted it up.
It was hard to find a place without many olive trees in my front garden..

Anyway once decided the place i started digging..

Ok the base is finished!
The GH was sent to me from Germany disassembled in hundreds of pieces! and it has been an hard work to place all the pieces :shock:

Ok now the inside is quite different. 90% of the space is occupied by seedlings:

Now I'm thinking to buy a new GH :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oooh, Sardinia! Lovely! :) (That said, the weather was nice enough even here in England yesterday that my cacti were out sunning themselves on the patio!)

Very nice collection there too! (And the 'this is the answer' pic made me laugh :lol:)

I love it! I was expecting just a pic or two of the greenhouse, but this is way better!

I alway enjoy the build posts showing the progress from nothing to "now I need another greenhouse"! :D

Thanks for posting this!
