Emma's tomato emporium

Have now planted the tomatoes I started in the greenhouse, into the polytunnel - There were alot of them!
Down this side there are Costoluto Fiorentino, Sungella and Garden Perle
Down this side there are Moneymaker, Roma & GardenersDelight
and at the end Cucumber (Telegraph)
Mmmm....now what to do with all those tomatoes!

Look what I've been up to...

First; dig a load of holes....
Then make a door & door frame out of treated timber......
With the help of a chicken that thinks it can read the instructions!
Next hammer posts into the holes, then put anchor plates over the posts and back fill the holes, with the help of a lovely assistant....
Then slot hoops over the posts & fix the ridge pole in place & attach bracing poles to each corner.....
Next fix door frames to hoops at either end and base rails to bottoms of hoops....
Put paving slabs up the middle to form a path.....
And then cover the whole structure in plastic (try to do this without swearing!)
And there you have it...... a polytunnel!
Just add plants......
