This is my "cropping" greenhouse (32' x 10' bought on eBay for 400 quid) as at 03-July-2008; first year of operation so not stuffed full. Glass not cleaned since erecting - sorry about that!

Cor nice melons!
I want that greenhouse only problem is its half the size of my garden!!!The greatness comes not when things go always good for you,but the greatness comes when you are really tested,when you take,some knocks,some disappointments;because only if youv'e been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain. -
So yours is the greenhouse I've been seeing on the news recently!

I agree though, that's a nice pair of melons. Are you going to cradle them, or leave them suspended by string?A simple dude trying to grow veg. http://haywayne.blogspot.com/

Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

"Thanet"
Hahahaha!! They are using hydroponics - looks like NFT from what I have seen (a trickle of water / nutrients flows past the roots, and the plants have no soil / substrate, just a rockwool cube that they were sown in, rather than them sitting in "deep hydroponic" substrate and solution).
I built nearly an acre of greenhouses doing that back in the '70s, and the yields were pretty spectacular compared to soil / grow bags.
"Are you going to cradle them, or leave them suspended by string?"
Yup, string is temporary, mind you they are growing very quickly, so I'd better get a move on and get my wife's tights off her for my nice pair of melons, as you put it! ... Oh!Err!MissusK's Garden blog the story of the creation of our gardenComment
