Of course, grow in the same way. I prefer my poly tunnel to the greenhouse i had as they dont get so hot.  And if cash is a bit tight you can easily make your own tunnel from scaffold tubes and plastic water pipe  :)

nice carp !!!

does this gardening lark cut down you carping aswell?

Thanks its a 37.5lb mirror, and yes ive been once in 3 years for various reasons but not just gardening. I used to use it as a way of escape from the ex wife  :mad:, but now she is an ex i dont have the urge to get away  :D

"You can't surely have a normal job and do this??"

I work from home, self employed, so I can juggle my hours :) Summer time I knock off at 5:30pm and come in from the garden at 9pm most days, so quite a lot gets done :)

I'm getting a bit tee'd off that knocking off at 5pm at this time of the year isn't getting enough done before it gets dark ... but this past 7 - 10 days I've been in the garden all day just briefly checking emails etc a few times during the day in case anyone really needed me! and the garden is pretty much ship-shape now - the wet and frost will arrive soon. Once the clocks change <Spit!> I can crack on with my work.
