Building a new summerresidence for my plants

Post by hablu »

This is what I'm doing during my week "crocusholliday" (as they call it here). I'm doing the stupid work and my neighbour carpenter the real work. The frontside (eastside) will be open totally and the headside (north) has a large door that can be opened. At the back there's a little shed foor the horsethings of the girls. Total lenght 12.80 meters. Half the roof will be covered with lightplates.
I like this work; maybe there's a new carreer in it for me. (but not really.... ouch my hands and back)

greets Harry (ps. click on the pic to see things better)

looks really good Harry :) lots of room for plants in there :wink: you could leave them in there all summer without having to worry about the rain........maybe even close in the front with something in the autumn and overwinter the more hardy ones in there too. :D

Neat Project Harry! You have to show us pictures with all the plants inside.

What kind of trees are those in your yard?

That looks really good Harry. Please let us see when it's finished and of course when the summer residents are in:)

Hi, Harry,
that looks real neat! I bet your plants will love it. Do you allow them to invite overnight guests? :P
