Cathedral of vegetables

The snow wrecked the polytunnel in the winter, squeezing it flat.
Then the winds ripped open the plastic, and when the thaw came the whole thing was under water.

I really really want a proper greenhouse, with lots of space and an insulated area where I can keep the heat on and give baby plants a head start.

Alas, what I did have this spring was a heap of plastic and bits of rusty, broken rods floating about in icy slush.

Happily for me, I also have an axe, birch trees sprouting everywhere, gaffa tape, leftover string from the hay bales and a strong husband who take orders well.

Tadaa! All ready for plants:
Now, if I could get hold of some suitable sheets and some spare time (hah!) I could make more polytunnels and cover the farm in tiny little houses for worshipping the gods of growing things...
