A very basic polytunnel

I spent yesterday banging old scaffolding into the ground, hammering, drilling and generally acting like a practical blokey type person!
And we now have a polytunnel, full of seed trays (well, at one small end) and the baby banana tree!

The door probably needs some work – it’s just a slit cut into the plastic now, and the rear end is a bit weird. But it works, and is ridiculously hot inside.

In the same way that the recent rain arrived just after I had watered all our young trees, as soon as the tunnel was up the sun returned properly. It may soon be too hot inside to keep anything in there except humans wanting a sauna experience!

    Hi Sophie.

    Love the new website,you seem to have gone forward despite losing all your valuable info.
    I do miss the pictures of the animals though…Also like the new banner thing at the top.
    I can see Dave and Suma!!

    Keep it up.I am a fan!

    Will be in touch as soon as my health is sorted regarding a Wwoofing post.
    Or I may just come for a break and a stay in your yurt.

    Hope Cassie is thriving.
