    Lovely garden, where did you get the plastic bench on pic 3 for you plants. I am looking for something similar or anything but am tthinking whether a three tier greenhouse like they sell at Wilko for £10 will do without the plastic cover. Just want something like a shelf to put the trays of seedlings. Thanks

    Thanks for the tour. You've managed to fit so much in your space. Your rhubarb made me laugh as my mums cauliflower has grown that big and looks like its from the jurassic era. I love the uses of different material, makes it really interesting to look at.

    Cath, I think it is wonderful that you have done so much in such a small space. I am trying to pluck up the courage to get rid of some of my grass to make extra room for vegetables and more rhubarb. I love rhubarb done for a few minutes in the microwave with a little honey.

    Hi loulou, we bought the bench years ago but I can't remember where from, the planters at the end of it have had roses growing for years, its been brilliant and I never thought it would last, its really useful for raising the plants. I think my mum bought something similar a few years ago from a newspaper catalogue but not seen them since.

    I would think the three tier greenhouse for £10 would be fine, either that or the bigger plastic tiered stacking shelves you get in Argos for sheds etc. but they would be a lot more expensive.
