.... now up and running. Ian has made me special staging that is just the right height to save me getting backache while sowing seeds, potting up etc. I've already started to fill it up with plants to overwinter them. I really don't know how I did without one until now.

Yep...now yer talkin'. This jewel looks fab. You are going to have a ball in that, Eileen. It's going to give your gardening such dimention.
hip-hip---Hooray! You know, that looks exatly like my green house. hang on...I'm going out to the lottie to see if it's still there! 
Congrats and a big "Well done" to Ian. I know he will be especially happy that you have a greenhouse, because ..."in theory", you'll need to buy less plants.
--Who said that!

Ohh that looks like a nice one, it turned out great. And Ian your a good man, making higher tables. I can relate with the back issues,,lol. I know your going to use that all the time. Its sure was a great find!
Petunia, it seems like your weather is alot like ours in a way. If we have greenhouses here, they have to be heated all winter and into the spring basically until almost summer.

That looks terrific, Eileen. I hope it'll be your gardening answer (no bending) Think of all the plants that can be started, even now! Congratulations.

Oh wow Eileen, and it was free?!?! Fantastic. We likes a bargain. The staging looks excellent, you will fill it in no time, mine is normally always chocca block, altho I am going to have a sort out and move around in mine over the next few weeks as I am planning to grow an grape in mine as I have been inspired by one of the ladies I garden for. Keep the pics coming.
