Trestle Staging inside a polytunnel

 This trestle staging was assembled in seconds, no tools or screws required,  perfect working height and folds away for easy storage – I think my Begonia’s look amazing!

Snow tunnel

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Wow! There simply isn’t any other word to describe the garden today. We’ve had about 8inches of snow overnight and everything is covered in a deep, thick blanket. Roads are all congested and it looks highly unlikely that the train will be running – no train, no work. Thankfully all is well inside the polytunnel – the temperature has even stayed above freezing without a heater, maybe the insulation properties of the snow I don’t know. What I do know is that still being relatively new to all of this, I’m glad I invested in a polytunnel. It’s only small, 10×10ft, but that enables me to have it on hand in my garden at home and keep growing no matter what the weather.
