The polytunnel, sorry, Dai`s Plant Factory, has arrived. I hope to have it up and running over the weekend.

Had a plastic compost bin given me yesterday by my first client. From todays clients` I took 6 bin bags full of leaves and crammed them into the bin. After tamping down, I think I can get at least another 2 bags full. Tomorrow I hope to erect the polytunnel framework.

Was hoping to put the frame up today, BUT, there are no fixings, anchors, assembly instructions or, even, a parts list.

I have to be fair to the tunnel suppliers. I emailed them last night. Today I had an email apologising for the poor service, a copy of the diagram and parts list. Also the news that the missing bits have now been sent.

These pictures are evocative of times past in Bradford. I really like them.

Both plots are looking really good. Hopefully mine will remotely resemble that next seaon

Finally made a start on the tunnel this morning. After 3 hours the frame was up and secure. Unfortunately it was too windy to put the skin on it.

You must sleep well at night Dai, unless it is a seed buying rainy day of course.
