Slightly off topic but do you have allotments in the US???

. . get someone in to do the job, . . either that or get a ready made lean-to. 
. . . the one I've just built stand on slabs, . . the floor's easier to keep clean.

Re: The Toms are in
As the actress said to the Bishop, . . . . I'm really sore today, . . . . . anyways, it's done, . . guess who did the christening honours, . . yeah, dirty boy Nero, . . . and the first two tennants have moved in, . . . one tom and a pepper, . . . I fitted the vent today and last night I was scratching my head as to what type of flashing I could get for the roof ends, . . then it came to me, . . a four inch plastic downpipe cut down the centre then screwed onto the sheeting's ends. Vented.
And the flashing.
Roll on harvest time.

Re: The Toms are in
Those of you with big allotments and 200+ seedings coming long will probably laugh at my posting this. But it's the beginning of my small back yard plot: two tomatoes, three chilis and two basils, all happy on the windowsill in their pots. The onions and potatoes will go in later. There is one more tomato that hasn't germinated yet.[IMG]

Re: The Toms are in
Another busy day doing finishing touches and tying up loose ends, . . serviced the wife's car today too, . . must get some of those seedlings potted up tomorrow, . . . the temp in the hothouse will have to be watched closely though, . . the sun was really hot today so I put up some blinds and the temp came down slowly to a reasonable level.How close do you plant the toms, is it 15 or 20 inches ? . . . can I plant peppers in between them ? . . . . anyone tried growing melons ?
