No.29 Greenery Coming

I am taking a break from scribing the paving for my platforms.  Just for a change the weather here in the south of Scotland might have been better than down in England.  So, a chance to do some gardening!


Yes, the greenery will be coming, but probably later in the year.  (Well hopefully much later if we don’t have a repeat of last year.)  We have a square of lawn in mind plus a vegetable patch.

Gardens do take a lot of time, especially when there are model railways to attend to.  We had the greenhouse base above concreted at the same time as the foundations for the ‘shed’.

Time passes, years go by, and the greenhouse structure has still not been erected.  There is not much between us and the Isle of Man and I have to admit that part of me says that any glass structure will get damaged by the winds (even with it bolted to the brick wall).  We had cloches over the peas to start with but they got blown off and round the garden three or four weeks ago.


Back to railway modeling and the Bachmann greenhouse.  Nothing yet is cast in stone, although the greenhouse is cast in solid resin.  The door frame on this one had to be glued back in place and repainted after being handled by Royal Mail.


Just a thought, when did the aluminium greenhouse arrive in the UK and were they around in 1960 to coincide with the period of my layout?
