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.

    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
