    Thanks, it looks great, it is just I will spoil the look as I will use the bench to put the tray of seedlings I am going to raise e.g sweet williams and I have been watching to save some seeds from my trailing white violas, they are gorgeous if only I can save the seeds to grow this yr to flower next year. I will go for a three tiers shelves they sell in Argos, they look stronger than the the three tiers greenhouse type.

    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.

    Saw this, anybody using it and the price seems ok. Will do the job and the place will look tider. It is cheaper at Wilkinson at £10, I am sure it is the same product. Any idea, anybody? Thanks

    I am going for the Wilkinson 3 tier staging but can't get it until next weekend. I like the dimensions of it as I want something wider rather than taller

    I don't know if the Wilkinson one is the same, but I have 2 of these shelves in my greenhouse, they are great for the money. I still have the shelving from my Focus plastic greenhouse which is 3 tiers, it's okay, but not as stable as the Gardman, possibly due to the fact the tiers are further apart.

    We are lucky to have a fairly large garden where we live. I have only just got into growing my own veg this year so have a small veg patch at the moment. Hubby just finished yesterday putting up the new greenhouse be bought for me. I have 2 children, the youngest of which starts school full time in september so I am hoping to turn more of the garden over to veggies. At the moment he is out in the garden a lot during the day and things would be wrecked by footballs etc.

    Oops sorry, forgot to resize... lol

    These are my pics. It is my first year growing. I bought quite a few young plug plants as I wasn't sure about growing from seed. The carrots, peas, salad leaves and courgettes were all grown from seed in mid May.
