Our Greenhouse.. experimenting in and out of the patch

We've recently added a Greenhouse to our backyard so we can eventually use it for our Aquaponics set up. After a many weeks of a couple of hours here and there, we finally got it all together.  We brought it on ebay from a seller called Bloom room.  They have loads of auctions on their new self assembly kits. 

While I have still been reading and researching, which Aquaponic system, what tanks to buy meanwhile my numerous seedlings are needing a home, we've decided to use it as a greenhouse for all our winter veg for the time being.  In the patch they fight with the white butterfly, getting eaten alive by those hatching larvae I have learnt to hate so much. We'll see how they go in the Greenhouse vs. the randoms I have planted in the patch.

So what I have done today is planted my seedlings out in pots, loads of Broccoli, Cabbage, Brussel Sprouts as well as 4 or 5 surprise Tomato Plants that have self seeded in the patch from last season which I thought I would bring indoors to see if we can grow them in winter this year in the greenhouse.
I will post a picture tomorrow of the seedlings and the completed greenhouse :)

  We partly assembled the main frame of the greenhouse then put it in place. 

  Scoria was laid in the bottom,  then a base of sand which we had left over from the path around the vegetable patch which was compacted.
