Thanks, Jinny. Hope the weather improves soon, so we can get out in the garden. We had snow this morning and there's a cold wind now at 5.22 p.m. Your new shed, etc. sounds good.

By clicking the thumbnail, you can see the latest photo of the greenhouse. My brother-in-law intends to work on it over the weekend, weather permitting. Some of the rigid PVC panels are fitted.
I've had a fall and am on crutches, hobbling around on very bruised feet and ankles and working in the garden is painful, so it's nice to think that the greenhouse is on it's way to completion.

It looks as though you have a nice wide doorway Penny. Something that you will appreciate when carrying stuff in or out. Mine is a bit resrictive in that department. I also had to dig a trench in mine so that I could stand upright. Keep up with the Arnica. You'll soon be fit again. I hope that the dogs are getting enough exercise meanwhile.

Thanks for your good wishes, Stymie.
I must get more Arnica. I've used a tube. I managed to cycle up the road to the local Co-op this morning. Cycling is easier on my feet than walking.
Yes, the door is in two parts, so each must slide outwards. I was given a little pumpkin seedling the other day and I plan will grow it in the greenhouse. I also want a collection of sedum as I like those.
Sunny this morning. Will have to get the hose out.

| Sorry to hear you had a nasty fall Penny, I do hope the soreness hurries up and goes away, why do these things always happen at such inconvenient times!!!!, just when you wanted to help BIL with the greenhouse. I know you just can't wait to get in there and start doing things I can see you in there, and in no time at all it will be crammed full of plants , you'll get a lot of pleasure from it I'm, sure. Take care and get better soon, Best Wishes, Kath

Thank you very much, Kath. Yes, most inconvenient to be off my feet at this time. Such a lot to do in the garden. My sister is being a star and coming over from Devizes, 10 miles away, as often as she can, and friends are helping a lot.
Today was the first day that I could put my feet to the ground without feeling the bruising as painfully as before, the problem is now more in my ankles. My sister took me to get ankle supports and they're helping a lot, keeping down the swelling.
Ian worked on the greenhouse again this morning and has the side and back panels in. He intends to bolt it to the paving stones before putting in the roof panels as the wind would take it away otherwise. If it's not raining (which it is now) tomorrow morning, he and my sister are coming again to continue working on the greenhouse. I'm really looking forward to having one - should have got one years ago. The owner of the whippets who come to stay regularly has ordered me three clematis plugs through her newspaper, they'll come in September and can go in the g/h, and I want to put in a little pumpkin seedling I was given the other day. Can't wait!
Hope you were able to get into the garden today.

Here's the latest slide show of the greenhouse. Only the sliding window to be fitted, the remaining nuts and bolts in the frame, the doors to be made and fitted and the whole thing bolted to the paving stones. Hopefully the coming weekend will see the end of the job.
I have a sempervivum, the pumpkin, courgette and tomato plants in it, along with one or two others things that don't like getting wet.

Hi,
Most important thing would probably be to have a good sized spirit level and a straight plank of wood so that you can make sure that the slabs you are putting it on are really level.
