The Strawberry Empire and more greenhouse

It would seem that the Wife's ambitions of running a Strawberry Empire is not without possibility. Today she made a start on the Empire State Building (aka the Tower).

This Tower was first seen in it's virgin form a while back when we first bought it. Since then, parts have been used as simple pots, but now it is truly starting to come into it's own. Oh, the green trays behind are also Strawberries. And of course there is the strawberry bed. Beds I should say, as she has also taken over another bed for future production. And she's got her eye on a couple of other too. From her initial investment of £2 for 5 plants from a car boot sale, we now have over 50 potted plants and a bed. Yes, this will be an Empire. Jam anyone?

Meanwhile I carried on trying to build the green house. This is starting to become a bit of a nightmare as unlike my 1st greenhouse, this one is second hand with no instructions. Also not enough glass it would seem. There are a number of perspex sheets along with it, but no idea which bit goes where. I've been making a few guesses as to what can be used, but it would seem that it will have to continue is a guess work manner.

Managed to get a few more pieces to fit for the roof.

As as you can see from the opposite side, there are still plenty of gaps.

It doesn't help that the rain decides to interrupt. No bad thing really as there's still much to do in the old greenhouse. Such as planting this years courgettes.

Tomorrows forecast is not good though. So I suspect that more delays will ensue.
