    mini poly tunnel

    I'd remove it and only put back when a frost is forecast,but looking at your location that is unlikely. water them if the soil is very dry. They need moisture to soften up and start off.

    I've just (today) finished building staging in one I bought from the first link that Nixon has posted. Cost �£370 for a 15' x 8' delivered. Delivery to you will be free I think - cost me �£15. Add to that �£20 for paving for a path in it and about �£25 for staging.
