Ian, those of us who drive on the left are doing it the correct way, everyone knows that...;) I've driven thousands of miles across the former Yugoslavia over the last eight years and adapt as soon as I get off of the plane, apart from one occasion in Bosnia in 2007 when I forgot where I was and pulled off of the grass verge (middle of nowhere) on to the left side of the road. If it hadn't been for the quick thinking of the local driver hurtling towards me, I wouldn't be sitting here typing this. Luckily he swerved right around me. I imagine he tells the same story; probably starts with "Those bloody English...":)

Looks like it's all coming together at your place. Are you erecting the tunnels yourself?

:rofl: I know how you feel, just sometimes the wife will have brain farts.... Like in car park awhile back multi level thing, she is scooting around on the wrong side only to fronted by a beeping horn and head to head with another car. Yet she thought she was in the right and started to blair the horn ALSO. I was in tears ! lol

Get a coat on and get out there! I'm waiting for the winds to drop so that I can get the cover on our newest tunnel; I'm hoping that it'll happen this weekend. I'd much rather be working on it in your conditions than in the summer. I washed the covers on the other tunnels a few weeks ago and ended up having to wear sunglasses whilst doing it; bright sunshine reflecting off of an opaque cover nearly lead to snowblindness!

I know the feeling of itching to get out and do it; you're right, it's just like playing with a new toy:)

Thanx for kick up bum ! Your right I will get out there tomorrow.. It has been sitting there all day calling my name...;)

It is like christams everyday here at the moment with all the seeds that are germinating as well.:party:.. have ALOT going on....

How often do you wash your cover ?
 
That is one helluva yard! Nice and green over there. It'd be nice to have a peppercorn tree on hand. I don't think it'd do well here unless I had a big green house. Look forward to see those tunnel set up pics.

As I have had plans for awhile to setup a chilli nursery i needed the room.
1 acre block , headache to look after....

I love fresh peppercorn, not as much heat ?! But much more pungent than dry...... different...

I will get a start tomorrow.....
 
Nice garden and project you got going on there. What are your plants with the poly tunnel upcoming winter?

I will buy a second hand little potbelly stove
This will stop chilli nights and any real cold weather... (and I like a hot cuppa off it in the morning) But dont think i will have real problem.
More worried about wind and weather...

Decided-
#Run water heated NFT tables and pots.
In hope to control temps alittle better in root system all year round.

#Gravel out this first one entirely.. And make a new home away from home ;) music, beer fridge LOL.... for when the misses kicks me out.
#Engineer it alittle on the ends so i can put in windows and doors.
