hey emma,

welcome to the site!

Hi Emma and welcome to your first forum - only one you'll need!    

You might try a few lettuce in your polytunnel.  You can plant garlic and Jerusalem Artichokes now but they don't need or want a tunnel.

I have sent you a Private Message too - you will see this in your InBox by clicking on the messages prompt in top LH of screen

Thanks to all for quick response!
Any more advice idea on what to plant now is much appreciated!
Ta Ta for now.

[/QUOTE]He is on hand to give me advice but is nearly 70 so I have to keep stopping trying to dig for me (he still thinks he's 21!).

Let him dig as much as he is able. I am 72 and my husband is 80 next yr. We dig and do all the hard work ourselves which also includes  barrowloading lots of seaweed up from the sea shore. We sleep the sleep of the exhaused in spite of the aches and pains that maturity brings!
The rewards are great.  There are always the rainy days when we can`t get outside to have a well earned rest and of course winter days to recuperate and dream of next year`s hard labour.

True, true...I just feel guilty when he gets stuck in the classic digging position!

His enthusiasm is infectious and we sing our hearts out - it was the Irish Rover last weekend!

Sounds like you both have a great life together.

It is amazing actually, we are spending quality time together and really getting to know each other...even though he brought me up I am only starting to understand him now.  I hope that doesn't sound too sentimental!
