The planting starts..........

Finally started planting. Got my paths down and layout planned. Mostly root vegetables on left of photo, carrots, radish, turnips, parsnips. On the right pumpkin, squash, corgette, brocolli, peas and mangetout!

Now the hard work starts

The doors are on and the tunnel has survived a few strong winds. Spent most of weekend digging in compost and muck into the soil. Hopefully planting soon.

Plastic is on!!

The big day arrived yesterday, when the steel frame structure turned into a polytunnel: we got the plastic on! Even though there were a few gusts of wind we (me and my Dad) managed to get the cover on.

Braced for a storm

As the tunnel is sitting on quite an exposed site, I ordered additional storm bracing. These consist of steel tubes that sit over the main frame joints to prevent them from opening. Hopefully these should give the overall structure the ability to withstand a battering in the next gales!
