finally I got round to buying compost today and added it to the frame.

it also has a external frame

and a waterproof greenhouse effect type cover, to keep his nibs off and help me grow things.

I have planted some Spinach and rocket seeds today and will hopefully transplant my courgette plants in there, or what would you green fingered among you recommend?

on another note, our 2 year old Strawberry plants gave us a small bounty of fruit today…

they were very nice.. as you can see.

with lots more to come, of course this is nothing compared to our neighbor who has got 85 strawberry plants on his allotment, I hope he has some spares!

We had heavy winds last night in the lower Welsh shed valleys and when I awoke and went to take sprout out for his morning walk at 6:50 (thats bad enough).

I went into the garden to find my mini greenhouse toppled over in the wind with all my hard work destroyed.

I should be able to save half the tomato plants but the majority of everything else is ruined

I have moved what I could to the safety of the shed and will clean up when I get home tonight.

ok part of it is my fault the Mrs said to make sure it wont blow away, so I put some stones at the bottom, but I should have secured it to the wall/shed as they are hooks on the back… a hard lesson learned.

I bought it before Xmas in a Sale for about £15 a bargain I think.

I am mostly growing Salad leaves and rocket, some herbs including Basil & Coriander and my Tomatoes have just moved from the bathroom tonight.. but as its a great success I will try some other stuff in a week or so, Any recommendations for things I can transfer to pots on the patio?

I think every small garden and gardener should get one!
