Looking good Nick. I like how you have roped the dog in to helping as well. 
Have you decided what you are going to grow in them? |
Well. Beans (runners and French), peas, onions, sweetcorn, red cabbage and rocket were winners last year. I've added in beetroot, leeks and pak choi into the mix so far. Also some spuds for one of the heavier beds, to break it up a bit. And strawberries and cut flowers in one. Baths get used for sweetpeas, successfully. Plus the asparagus bed, and I appear to have bought, on Shan's hearty reccomendation, some Jerusalem Artichokes. They'll go in a bath, too, I suspect. Last time I planted them we got rid of them eventually, by selling the house.
Greenhouse is for tomatoes and chillies. My usual supplier has let me down this year, so I'm having to plant my own. |
You're 'special'. I wouldn't wish them on anyone else.  |
They are the vegetable that keeps on giving. Louise will enjoy them immensely. |
Self generated tub bubbles? |
Redneck jacuzzi.
Now then. Poly tunnel. We’ve a space for one. Lots of frames on ebay. Are replacement skins easily available off the roll, to fit any size? |
How on earth would I know - I spend my life replacing sheets of glass on the damn greenhouse, not plastic sleeves on poly tunnels.
PS the 'bubble tub' is about to become another casualty. Will be up for sale, in May.  |

ETA. Obviously, I’ll be planting far too many courgette plants. |
Sounds like you should have a busy and productive year. 
Never tried Jerusalem Artichokes. Are they nice? |
