Am taking up offer to share. Courtesy of allotment neighbour K I now have use of a 6m x 4m greenhouse sat in the snuggest of locations with full sun and protected from wind. The offer has been there for the last few years but with my problems with commitment it has taken quite a while for me to get in there.
And a commitment it is. I know because I’ve been on green house duty now and again and during holidays. This is what I’ve signed up for: Daily watering and opening and closing of windows and/or doors morning and evening. It may not sound much but consider this: failing to carry out those simple actions can result in total destruction.
The summer before last, the summer we began to believe the scientists who’ve been banging on about global warming, K had to water twice a day. Last year, as we all know, watering was slightly less urgent. But whatever is going on outside, the doors have to be opened and closed to ensure the plants don’t overheat or freeze to death. It’s exciting, though. My coffee, kiwi and palm seeds will be reared there. Having a partner is great. I hope I can keep my laziness at bay and not let K or the little plantlets down.
