    Oh girl, you're going to be so happy when you get your greenhouse. I've wanted one for years, and I finally was able to get one this year. It's fun dreaming of one and when it arrives.....yesss! I can hardly wait for you. You'll use it for so many things.

    It's so exciting to take a look at the greenhouses. I too would move a table and comfy chair inside. What a great retreat space.

    I do not drink beer but have bought to use in small saucers around my hosta for many years. Works great and not too expensive. Enjoyed the trip to check out the greenhouses.

    Yippee the beer traps work. Yes pour the beer out and fill again later in the evening.
    If you find where slugs nest you could add traps to the outer area. They are sots.ha ha
    Beautiful greenhouses. Could you attach a greenhouse to your wall fence? Would save space. See if dealer could reconfigure the roof so you had room for your chandelier. Enjoyed the video. Have a great week.

    Another natural slug deterrent is crushed egg shells. I rinse the shells and allow them to dry. I save them all winter long and in the spring crush them and sprinkle them around the plants as you did with the sea shells. Also the break down of calcium is good for the soil. 🤞 😊

    Those greenhouses are beautiful. They will be an extension of your home. I could see you out there all the time. We have little snails here and tiny slugs. Those are quite big that you have. Ughhh! Everything is looking good. I even planted some corn after watching you with yours. Have a wonderful Sunday!

      That's it exactly, it will be an extra room for me, not just for growing! Have the best Sunday and good luck with your corn!

    Wow what beautiful greenhouses, make my little one look even more tiny. I only havd a small garden so a big one was not an option for me but would not be without it. It grows me salad in the summer and over winter's my tender plants and ornaments, you won't regret getting one. Xx

    I use horticultural grit in quite a thick layer and it seems to work, it also saves on the watering as the soil doesn't dry out so quickly. It's also cheap for a big bag.

    I put the beer in bottles or containers like tins lying on their sides so the rain doesnt wash away/dilute the beer.

    Karen - try cucumber too - here me out - every night I slice up a third of a cucumber and I place the slices under my hosta, my delphinium, the sunflowers and the dahlias and it works they eat the cucumber not the plant - my hostas have no holes and the sunflowers have survived

    Hi beer traps do work but where to dispose of them. Some lovely green house but I have a very small garden so I can't have one. Nice to see your veg coming along. Thanks for sharing. Catch you next time xx

      I dump the slugs down the far end of the garden and the birds can enjoy them!

    Hello Karen, (did anyone else miss the barking dog or the seagulls?) Perfect timing for your video Karen. Liked the choices of greenhouses, fingers crossed that you can get one ASAP. Your garden is looking good!

    • @Lovelygirliebits
      @Lovelygirliebits  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Right as I read your comment, the seagulls were going wild outside!! Thanks so much for watching and I'm sure the gulls and dogs will be back very soon!

    I love that you are close to getting your greenhouse. That place has beautiful things. I laughed out loud when you said sorry I’m talking thru things because I was talking out loud how to place the chairs in that greenhouse to see the size you are looking at. The round table you have will be good in the greenhouse. If there was no such thing as having to follow a budget I would want the oval one right outside the greenhouse like the one you want. A little bigger for family and the rounded corners would make it easier to walk around it. What floor are you going to have in there.

    Wow re the center will all the greenhouses and outdoor furniture. Such a nice selection. I really like the greenhouse you’re looking at and even though it wasn’t the size you’re looking at, it definitely gives you a feel for your size. How many people are you hoping to seat at a table?

    is it a irish thing to use greenhouse as a garden room never seen that done before love that wooden one
    your garden is looking beautiful

    • @Lovelygirliebits
      @Lovelygirliebits  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I don't think it's necessarily an Irish thing in terms of using a greenhouse as a garden room, I just want to make sure if I'm spending that much money on something, that I'll get as much use out of it as possible!
