yes, me too
however it requires a lot of work on the entire garden, slowing things down a bit
the greenhouse is almost there though! we have put up the frame yesterday and glazing will be added today, making it an actual greenhouse

Really nice. :thumbright: And after you've done the electrics etc. the best part will begin..... moving in the plants! YES! Makes my little greenhouse look even smaller. :cry: But it still serves it's purpose (for now that is :lol: )
