Greenhouse upgrade 2.1

In an effort to support mass seedling production, and recycle the van bed bits that were left over after conversion back to just a van, the Greenhouse has been upgraded.  No extra cost as all the bits were lying around.

So lots of “special” herbs next year?

Garden 2.1

Few upgrades in the back!

Thanks to some few toughened glass panels from Cornwall Glass in St Austell the greenhouse now has a roof again.

Thanks to a bung with a hole, the water feature pipe is now hidden a bit more.  Think it leaks a bit but looks better!

The utility area now houses 2 tumble dryers and 2 washing machines.  Until we get a another “strap em together” kit they saying on the floor.  A freezer is pending.

Along with drainage, the utility area also provides a tap for the garden!

 

Updates

Tomatoes start to turn red in numbers

Pond is looking quite clear

Water feature gets solar upgrade – note to self – check wattage before purchase!

Record build time?

Well we ordered our iKea set in April 2019 according to the labels on the box.

It is now built and actually in a bedroom upstairs.  Is 16 months a long time… the instructions only run to like 4 pages anyway… maybe a world record?

Its a fridge!

After the previous fridge freezer packed in – we decided it was time to upgrade and downsize a little.  After ordering a red-one, which after 4 weeks of delays still hadn’t turned up (shame on Appliances Direct and the supplier Haier), we went with ao.com and ordered a black one, which turned up two days after placing the order.  It was delivered and unpacked by the gents from Exeter with little fuss and took the old one away.  Well done ao.com!

All shiny and black, with freezer drawers!
