    Finally got round to glazing and completing the greenhouse this weekend.... Its been a while removing the rockery (anyone have suggestions for a large pile of rocks?), the mud and the plants and transforming into this but well worth it!

    Oh, I used some of the rocks to make a low wall under the lleylandi too.

    All I need now are seed trays and erm... seeds and plants!

    Aww shucks, it was nuthin'... The only problem is that I can't seem to stay out of it now.

    Kazy, it looks as though the destructions sticky got removed in the migration... Load your pics into photobucket and copy the IMG Code (4th box below the pic), then just paste the text into your posting. Max of 8 (including smileys!) per post...
