GREAT GROWING SYSTEM! My wife, Susan had always been a keen and capable gardener with the strength and stamina to complete the most demanding physical jobs in our backyard. So it was a bitter blow when in 2008 she suffered a severe stroke that left her significantly disabled. No longer able to enjoy working in the garden her frustration was obvious and so we hit upon the idea a investing in an Eden glasshouse. We already had the perfect spot in the yard – a concrete slab left after we removed the old garage. The glasshouse arrived in Mid 2010. At first I was a bit daunted by the prospect of constructing the frame but I convinced myself it was just a life-size Meccano kit and with a bit of help I managed to set it up without too much difficulty; I even managed the glazing without breaking a single pane! The addition of galvanised benches plus an automatic watering system and the glasshouse was ready for use. We both enjoy the benefits of being able to grow plants throughout the year. Sue has become skilled at growing and potting up seedlings and taking cuttings and we always have a ready supply of flowers for the garden. We have also tried our hand at growing native plants for our local Bushcare scheme achieving success with Flannel Flowers, Kangaroo grass, Kunzia and Wonga vine to name just a few. Sometimes, on the coldest days of winter I can find Susan just sitting in the glasshouse soaking up the heat of the sun and recently a Perons Tree Frog has taken up residence to help us control the bugs! The glasshouse has stood up well to the elements although we had to replace the shade cloth after 8 years as the cockies decided it was fun to sit on the roof pole and rip holes in the material. I give it a thorough clean each winter and do my best to keep it pest and disease free. I hope you like the photos of the glasshouse. Feel free to use them on-line.
