The snow must go on....

 
 
Well the snow keeps putting paid to doing much outside including constructing our new Polytunnel which was going to be for seedlings. So as the others are not being used too much just now we've split one of them in half and double glazed it using bubble wrap
 
 
 and put the staging supports in which we bought with the tunnel. We've then added some batten sized timbers jumbo trays and capilliary matting for the seed trays to sit on when its safe to move the seedlings in

                                      

Next job is to start building cloches for outside and inside the big tunnel. Going to be using the Geoff Hamilton kind of method /principle although simplified from his exquisite structures
You can view how to make them here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGA0P9uB9z4&list=PLc-dF6EoGozTVgVwMDbgnU5UvnEd63xMg&index=14
