I built a greenhouse out of old windows and stuff I found in skips. Did everything with hand tools (except for using a cordless drill, when I remembered to charge it…). And found some wonderful vintage saws. Then I found how much it cost to get them sharpened. Basically each saw was the price of buying a brand-new, sharp disposable one. Unfortunate, but now I do have a wonderful greenhouse.
That I’ve used for one season, since I’m about to move house.
Oh wow! I've absolutely always admired the old window greenhouse technique. This is the first year that greenhouses have become a topic of conversation here, so I'm sure one will be in our future. I'm sorry to hear you've got to let it go, though. Is there any way to move it?
"Hammer your screws" kill me 😂
Thank you so much for letting me know, Sandra!
"Hammer your screws" got a solid chuckle. Thanks! Have a wonderful week.
I'm very glad to hear it! Thank you for letting me know, Dave!
Really enjoy you lists and cartoons!!
Thank you so much, Karen! I'm honored as always.

Not from New Zealand to the UK, no. The best that I can hope for is that another gardener will appreciate it.
Oh yeah, that's quite a move. I will keep my fingers crossed, and best of luck with the big move!

Painfully adorable (complimentary) 👏
Thank you, so much!
