[Straight Shooter]

Removed the covering off the lower poly tunnel 6 mtr x 3 mtr ....re taped all the hoops and re fitted new polythene made a new door and frame .....all finished and ready to go ! All tomatoes and cucumbers are all tubbed up and sitting in their final growing positions in the grow poly tunnel , sown two rows of spring onions , and three rows of carrots ....direct ........on the window cill sown butternut squash , aubergine , lettuce , and coriander .......everything is doing well ! Set up some barrels and planted some potatoes .

The hydroponics setup is turning out to be excellent ! Very impressed with the speed of progress ! ......cabbage will be ready to plant on next week along with some lettuce . Gave all the fruit bushes a good dressing of feed to get them off to a good start .

Next up ..... is the big poly tunnel 35ft x 12ft removing the covering re setting the hoops and levelling up ...then replacing the polythene and cool tape and making two new timber doors ( wide enough to drive the beast through ) all the gear is at hand to get it done .....the aquaponics system I fitted last year will be fired up as soon as the cover go’s on its all done ready up and running .....think I will run another hydroponics system along side it and use the opposite side of the tunnel for standard traditional growing beds .

Finished the base coat render on the old house ...just the gable end to do ....then the top coat to all ....then to small Lean to roof to recover and I am done ! ......cleaning the caravan (external ) tomorrow and a service on the truck next week........carrying on walking this rocky road ! .
