Smash was a bit of a staple back in my student/bachelor days, not a patch on proper mash though! Anyway good news the water came on at 3am this morning, woke the whole house up as the cisterns were filling up! So veg patch and plastic growing house has had a totally soaking early this morning.

These are my potatoes, there is a fortnight between each tub not that you can notice yet 

There are 15 tubs of sweet peas because the middle granddaughter wants a sweet pea  wigwam 

3 different types of tomatoes for the green house and 1 pepper plant 

2 tumbling tomato plants for the hanging baskets at the back door 

1 pumpkin plant to keep the grandkids interested

Only ever tried it once on a caravan holiday and it’s rank .. 

glad you got water back on … or they’d have had to give you bottled water in this weather surely ?

First poly tunnel ready, just finished re-potting and caning up the tomatoes;

Cheers.

The idea is there I have had zip up green houses in the past but they never last long a few years the top goes brittle or the zip playing up and they blow over in strong winds I've put bags of compost on the bottom to hold them down a bloody cat tried to climb over mine and the dog went mad

I get around three seasons from the poly tunnel’s then just buy a new cover. 
 

I got two 2x3 metre poly tunnels from Amazon for a total of £100.

I got a new cover for another one for £40. 
Well worth it if you grow a lot of tomatoes, chillis, sweet peppers, cucumbers, etc.

Cheers.
