With the glass out of the greenhouse you could make yourself a load of cold frames or something like that. Good idea about turning it into a polytunnel. I am so glad I am not the only one who will sacrifice bits of my garden for frogs 😀

I don’t need anymore cold frames, and the glass is like 5-6ft sheets! So not too safe at child level 😆

Gorgeous frosty plants seems strange to me in Australia as I hit temps in the high 30s. It all looks gorgeous. Loved following along your journey over the last few months since discovering you channel. Look forward to seeing the plans come together. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

How very lovely. Such wonderful view of the garden asleep. Was wondering if you could somehow use metal brackets to reinforce the Alton Greenhouse?

Hey lovely! Roughly half the glass is broken, but it is is the big panes that i worry about not holding. Seeing as it would have plastic over a lot already, and we get the sheeting in that size for free we thought that best - although the brackets are a good idea to give the frame strength regardless I hope you are well xx

Frosty morning! Yes, leave the vegetation there. I wait till things thaw out in the spring to clean up. The vegetation is good for the birds, as you said, and the cover is like winter cover crops in areas where they can grow such. Greenhouse frame to polytunnel: Hmmm, what is the frame made of? Could you dismantle the frame into individual pieces. Then use those pieces as a template to make a frame with new material and reuse the glass?

Hey! That is a good idea re the greenhouse, but we are trying to use what we have rather than buy more materials - about half of the glass is broken, so it would have some plastic either way. X

Hey Glen, I haven’t done onions from seed before, I always have great results with sets, so Ive stuck to those. Saying that, there are many more varieties to grow from seed isn’t there - so maybe I should do some of both. Thanks for giving me something to think about

And for the alton greenhouse, rather than just cover with plastic, if you replace the glass with twin walled polycarbonate it will still function as a greenhouse and hold the heat in much better, but still lose all the weight.

Hey Tony, we are trying to use what we have rather than spend any money on it atm, so the plastic sheeting will do for now - but that is a good idea for the future. I hope you are well

Jaz, for your onions, pop them in good sized module trays - they’ll get away just fine, and buy you as much as 2 months to work that bed over, and still get your early cropping (it’s what i did this year too!)
