Water Buts

Nuts... always read the label, I made a run off go into a water butt but didn't have any over flow where it should have been so it torn it self apart...

Linked up the pond to the green house roof so I don't have to manually fill it so often. Its suprising how much water can go into a pond.

Well now planning some way of using the dead water butt and diverting all the water off the greenhouse to the pond.

Golden Feverfew


Suprising strong plant given the light soft leaves, nice daisy like flowers, prefers full sun. Leaves have very bitter taste, though I'd prefer to look at it.

Labels:

Tomatoes


Tomatoes are easy to grow in a green houses however they take a lot of watering and get fairly big.

Broad Beans


fun and easy success with broad beans.

They prefer growing indoors/green house, with nice show of flowers. You can risk outdoors but I think they don't like clumpy/wet/acid soil.
