How Many of You Bring Half Your Garden Inside Over Winter?

For the first year I seem to have brought a large amount of my pots in this year, I have brought in my begonia, new guinea busy lizzie, ginger and a chilli plant, my house is starting to look like a summer garden. Is this normal?

Wooden Pallets

Are wooden pallets any good for making raised beds as I am looking at creating raised beds in Tetris shapes but want to keep the cost down. I dare say I would need to treat them if they are, but what would you say the best wood treatment would be for this scenario?

Transporting a greenhouse

I have the offer of my dad's greenhouse but my other half doesn't want to transport it as he is scared he may break it, is there a professional lot who can do such a thing? We have tried googling it but to no avail.

Re: Seasons on your patch?

My patch is overgrown but have bid plans for it next year with Tetris shaped beds to satisfy our inner geekiness. Our land is quite exposed and relatively high up in our area so seasons start a little late. Just gettining ready for the final mow of the year.
