    Great job... I'm similar, impatient but I also love the sense of achievement of doing it myself.

    You absolute legend. Doing that single handed is no easy ride. And what a hero, you read the instructions 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Brilliant that you recycle items, this is what makes it accessible to every size pocket. I like to try and do things for free or cheaply, it’s part of the journey. Lovely video, thankyou 👍🌻🌱⛲️

    The poly looks marvelous. I like the flipped compost area…so much better.
    I’ve been eyeing those Birdies Bed’s for awhile, so I can’t wait for our upcoming vlog.
    I spent my first entire day of 2023 in the garden today. Looks like a handful of good weather days ahead, so more gardening. Just have to cool my jets a minute because frosts are still possible through mid May.
    I started 2 of the 72 cell trays of flowers…but a flat of flowers might have followed me home today😂😂😂

      @@theflyinggardener Just looked at long range forecast and Thursday is predicting 81f / 27.2c. That’s freaky warm. No frost through the 22nd, so the hardening off will commence. I may need to buy brassica transplants if this trend continues. Mine won’t have enough time before the heat.

    So pleased for you Will, you did well doing it on your own. We used to have a blow away walk in greenhouse and we put metal stakes on each corner and it certainly worked. We used to take the cover off each Winter, but it obviously wasn't as big as a polytunnel. It stayed in place for a good few years before we took it down.
