Is that frame not anchored in the ground? Won't the greenhouse take a flight at the next storm?

Yes it caught up with me Ray , I still got most things done, I just need to cut a few paving slabs and continue them round the outside of the greenhouse, and I need to pick up some Perspex for the back to let light into the shed,

I am unsure if hedgehogs would be able to get in my garden, but I am thinking of adopting one in need of a good home, with this in mind I have built a little nest at the front, also bearing in mind they hibernate and I wouldn't want them waking up too early with the greenhouse being warmer so I've left plenty of gaps for air to circulate to keep it cool .

I went out today and bought some planters, too heavy to lift for one person so I had to manoeuvre them the old fashioned way, a coat of paint and they look good, I need to do some work on the gnome lol.

I've just had one, he was a big bugger, I was too slow with the camera , but I will have him on cctv, I need to read up how to encourage him back and not cats.

Edit, sorted, I will make one in the next few days .

Hi, I've been after a stone bird bath for a while now, and managed to get one from eBay today £35, I was going to place it at the top of the garden with the planters, but I think it will look nice in the middle of the lawn with a border round it,

I have one of these down the bottom of the garden. Some of them you can fit a camera to. well worth getting some hedgehog food.

Many thanks Chris, I was popping out to get some meal worm later, I do have a proper pet shop near on to me, I will call in and see if they have any, that's a nice hut but would take more time for me to construct, a square one will be lots easier for me to make, if the one I make starts getting used I will install a camera,

For the time being I will tidy the gates an ladders up and place it there so I can see anything going in on the cctv ,

The bird bath is in its resting place, i just need to dig the border .

Dare I say that your 1.8m dish will make your lovely new garden look ugly? Is that why you're procrastinating?

No far from it Alex, to me the dish will be the most wonderful item in my garden in my eyes;), I am still enjoying my time with the 1.2, I am 48 this year and the bit of a kid in me is drifting away slightly at times,

If more peeps had them here in the uk it would have been fitted along time ago, I do understand that its not practical for most of us, that's probably slowed me down,

If I am honest it will be nice to get more channels and see what she can do but I don't want to come across big headed if that makes any sense, at the end of the day I am one of the lads, I am not the look at me type of person and that's how it could be looked at once fitted, I am rubbish at explaining things I hope the above makes some sense,
