Can’t wait for the weekend
It’s only Tuesday and I can’t wait for the weekend to do more work on the allotment. Is that sad? Ryan’s getting excited too. I’ve decided to give over part of the fruit patch to a seed bed. There is already an area that looks like it might have been used for that. The plan is to buy a cold frame and use it to harden off young plants before they go into the ground. I had thought that it would be okay to grow cucumbers on the open plot but some posters on Allotments4all say not. So I’m taking their advice. This one seems pretty reasonable. It’s perspex, not glass, but then it’s hardwood and only costs £49. Obviously my favourite is this cedar frame but the lack of prices on this site makes me slightly suspicious that it may be out of my price range!

Like that frame! I just got one similar yesterday but cos I have a really poorly back I have opted for one which is tall rather than low and flat. I got mine from Two Wests & Elliott which is near me
I noticed that there is a frame like the one you are on about available from B & Q and it’s under £30. I’d check that out. It does have polycarb top with timber frame.
I have posted pics (or will be doing in a mo) on the A4A forum pages (growing under glass) Happy gardening. Like your site very much
Thanks for the advice. I’ll be buying my frame next week. Haven’t got a big enough garden to keep it at home like yours (very nice pics btw) so mine will be living down at my tiny plot. Should be okay down there – the locals are very nice I picked up some free tools today from one of them!
