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.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
