Botanical blunderings on a budget - good life starts here.

sorry i haven't heard of them, but if you are worried, I would guess that your boss should call environmental health? Glad pippi that you didn't get blown away chev

Chev, We rent the building so I've chased it up with the building owners.

millipedes! That might be it! (I was wondering yesterday, and thinking about the centipedes I'd seen in the garden, but they were orange, and I entirely forgot about millipedes!) Think they may be dark grey/black ish? Lots of legs (obviously! ) and I *think* they curl up in a ball too... Don't think they do any harm (but that's just cos I like the idea of them, not because I have any specialist knowledge :rotfl:)

Did you take a picture?!

Uniscots97

I didn't take a pic no, the cleaner was mortified and tried to quickly hoover them up

The_Dragon

did they look like any of these?

Uniscots97

They weren't quite as long Dragon, nasty little critters whatever they were.

Hey up all - in for the day -

All tools etc located for frame up day tomorrow
*Workshop cleared* which is a mission in itself
Cakes made (coffee cupcakes with cappacino icing) during tea break
Lunch eaten - will update indoor foraging challenge later

Bath and a catch up

Tunnel frame will be up and sorted by the weekend - then I need to save for the cover, order a still day, 6-8 willing victims, um I mean volunteers to get that up might be between 1-6 months depending on funds/weather window/victim window.

slow maybe but slow and steady wins the race right?

It'll be great once its finished. Pippi, (not sure if this would work but...) I noticed that along the Clyde Valley (when I was heading to the victorian fair last weekend), there are at least 17 garden centres between A71 just before Garrion (the first one is Brown's nursery) to New Lanark Mill. There were about half of these where there are green houses in disrepair and polytunnels unused, some had for sale signs up for the equipment. Would it be worth googling these places and seeing what's for sale?

Great going with the polytunnel Pip. Do you mind me asking how much a cover would cost? Uni's idea is a good one and I am sure that there will be creative ways of getting that cover sooner.

<sticks hand in air as willing victim> (although we might not make it back within the next month or two! )

Well concreted - I'm impressed! :T :T :T
