    This is the one I've been lusting after but not sure if a smaller one would be just as good an take up less room.

    DH won some Argos vouchers recently for doing well at work and it's enough to buy a new dishwasher, strimmer and the greenhouse.


    Thts the baby brother of the one I want lol

    And all the chillis we grew ! DH is a bit of a chilli freak, he'll eat it with everything ! :eek: I have about 10 tubs full of various varieties in my freezer as we speak.

    Yes Daisy you can come and live with us, but you have to let me borrow your maxi dress, even though I know it wouldn't fit me! (I'll have to pretend it would :p).

    Just finding room for one, without loosing too much precious patio! I'd love a proper glass greenhouse with potting shed....
    I'm impressed with your sucess in growing from actual fruits. I was reading something about it not being very reliable,something to do with hybrids? I'll have to have a go now though. Got loads of seeds ready to go, maybe do it tomorrow and start them off indoors. I'm quite anxious not to be too late again this year!

    hell yes! lol nothing beats seeing a little tiny shoot growing up....we have a very haphazard attitude to growing things a case of chuck it in some soil in a yoghurt pot stick some cling film on it pop it on the window (or in the airing cupboard) and see what happens lol
