Work continued

When the ground was level, the guys set about putting up the hothouse itself. Metal framed with plastic roof and walls.

We had purchased part of an other hothouse, in a buy that included plants, pots, medium, and an assortment of things that we might need.

We had purchased from two people - one the hushand had apparently absconded and the wife just wanted to get rid of her other burden. The other was sad - the husband had passed away, so the wife was keen to get her life back in order without his gerbera farm. It was of course to our advantage, as things were cheaper.

But our husbands put in many hours of work in preparation for the big day when the plants would arrive.
