    I think plan C is the best option, the paths look too narrow to move the greenhouse through,shame though. I'm feeling a bit bad for not going to the allotment this weekend, to cold, wet and drab. I'm looking out for nicer weather and hopefully get a few days of work to get stuff done on the allotment ☺☺🤦‍♀🤦‍♀ PS I did a Huegelkulture to fill in a big hole on my plot. I put in sticks from brambles etc and any scrabs of food etc it worked a treat for growing potatoes in.

      Hi Angelika, I agree plan C is my favourite option. Seems the easiest all round.
      The weather is sooo cold and grey isn’t it. I just took a chance and went in up, happily the weather held out long enough.
      Did you find then huegelkulture bed sank over time? I’m assuming it will.

      @@Littlesheddiaries they do shrink, just like normal compost bins would. It's a great way to get useable compost. I've got a couple of new raised beds were I've filled the bottom with grass cuttings etc and topped up with shop bought compost, my latest experiment🌾☔

    У вас очень милый огородик, я тоже в этом году делаю высокие грядки, говорят, в них очень хорошо растут овощи. Удачи вам в вашем труде, было интересно провести это время вместе с вами 😊💖🌱🌸🤗

      Thank you for your kind comments, what are you planning on growing in your beds?

    Depending on how heavy the little greenhouse is I might actually have a go at moving it as it would be so much more convenient if it was on your plot. Failing that plan C as it would be a shame to smash it in an attempt to dismantle. Loving the progress and just a little allotment envy at how far on your crops are. I'm up in the Welsh valleys and it has been so wet and cold I've still got a sitting room floor (the only really light part of the house) covered in all my seedlings although I got some peas in this week.

      Your house sounds exactly like mine, a jungle of baby plants 😆. I have been really impressed with how my clip on grow lights have made a difference to my seedlings, as long as I get them under there ASAP.
      I’m crossing my fingers for plan C. Not sure I have the mental strength to dismantle it and I figure the steps going back and forth will be a good thing.
      Wales is indeed wet but I don’t think we’re too far behind you for rain this year.
      Fingers crossed we will all get some sunshine soon 🤞

      @@Littlesheddiaries did you use a heat mat as well as grow lights? if so which one? I have looked on line but they don't seem to have very good reviews. I think for next year I will get some grow lights as you seem to have had good results with yours. Good luck with the greenhouse.

      I bought Garspen 80 LED full spectrum lights on Amazon, £26. There are 4 lights attached to bendy arms, all attached to a bull-dog clip. I clip it on the windowsill and bend the lights quite close to the seedlings. I bought a cheaper one at £18 but it’s not as flexible.

      Oh yes, I used a heat mat just to get them germinated (no thermostat, just a £12 standard thing on Amazon).

      It’s ok, you’ve no commitment to do either, though I love your little messages.
      Hope you’re doing OK over in Canada 😊
