Garden Plan – Part 3
A quick background to the project in case you have forgotten or haven’t been here before: I replaced the cover on our polytunnel at our allotment and even though it’s a very make-shift cover, it gave me the idea of making a polytunnel (of sorts) for the back garden. Did I have a spare frame?…
