Oh quite high, I think about 12ft+. No greenhouse - no garden as such just a sunny area of concrete roof/patio festooned with containers - yet still picking ripe tomatoes, chilli peppers, marjoram and thyme etc. and surrounded by tall sunflowers, nasturtiums, lobelia, violets and petunias - all about to die off I'm sure and yet they keep on going.


Or have I just confused standards with altitude?


That's what comes of posters pronouncing from their high horses... or should that be tall horses?

What else is your garden used for? We have a large garden but our two sons are under the impression it is a football pitch - the seven-a-side goals their dad put up have only encouraged that. Anyway, because the football pitch takes up most of the garden we opted for a smallish first greenhouse and most importantly went for metal frame and acrylic windows - not as asthetically pleasing as I wanted (I was considering wooden frame with real glass windows) but very very sturdy and has withstood direct hits from footballs on more times than I care to remember.
