Bought my greenhouse 12 years ago and wouldn't be without it.
It's unheated, but protection from wet is enough for my potted agapanthus and other hardy-but-can't-cope-with-cold-wet-clay plants.
From early spring, I start off my hardy annuals from seed, and then from early summer onwards I grow tomatoes and chillies.
I've had my original £400 back in 12 years of tomatoes and chillies alone (we love chillies - I grow enough for a whole year's supply between fresh and frozen).0
