I do like your pollytunnel ,and the idea used for collecting rain water )t' well thought out .As for your strange plants growing in there not sure if that first one may be a type of wild fennel,try snapping a bit off and see if it smells anniseed,that big one dont have a clue ,if leaves werent shiney might have been comfrey but not with the shiney leaves . :? Bet someone will soon identify them for you )t'

Thankyou Bill,
He who does, had the guttering idea, ordinary house guttering was too big and heavy. I'll be having a sniff at the ferny one, and it's a wait and see for the monster one. :-D

Sorry i couldnt identifie them for you Angela,some weeds are native to certain parts of the country and different soils ,will probably turn out to be something right common,how is the weather today in your neck of the woods?

Good Morning Bill, don't worry about the ID maybe I've got summat very rare and valuable ..... Or just a monster weed ! I snapped the ferny one and no aroma at all, another wait and see, I'll let you know. I've been weeding and there is no way I've dropped all the tomato seeds, I've got plants coming up all over the place, they must have already been in the purchased topsoil, hey ho a bit of a bonus ! It's very cold and windy here and just to cheer me up some rain too ! Surely we can't have another year like the last one ! }hairout{
Have a nice day what ever you're doing.

Evenin Bill, I was wondering if you were ok, you hadn't been on for almost a whole day. I'd cocked up about 4 takes with my video and didn't realise the blinkin plane was there til I played it back ! }hairout{
I am really pleased with the way the polytunnel has come on, I thoroughly enjoy playing in there, mind you it doesn't half get hot in there.
It been lovely here today,sorry it wasn't so nice with you. Did you go off paddling and building sand castles ?
Night night sleep tight.

Hi Linda, sorry you can't play my video, I have no idea what to do, this techno stuff is all fine and dandy if it works !
Glad you like the banter, we are forming a band you know, I'm practicing like billy oh on me washing machine drum, it ain't as easy as the old washboard {rofwl}
