Broccoli "green house" - picture heavy

We have 6 broccoli purple sprouting to go out and need to keep them under cover so they are not a butterfly dormitory and canteen - as these plants get quite tall (3 - 4 feet) need a proper construction and cover for this. Time to break out the blue pipe and canes!

Ingredients: 4 x 6' sections of blue pipe; 8 x 4' canes; 20' length of 6' mesh, cable ties and garden wire for sewing.

Canes in ground, blue pipe on canes, aim for total path length from ground to ground around 12'. Then install plants:

Next need to work on the mesh - recall was 20' x 6' - really want around 10'x12' so:

Cut in two and "sew" together with thin garden wire...

Finally cover the frame and we're all done - safe and happy broccoli. Almost certainly cost more than the plants inside are worth but should be good for a few years... we shall see...!

Was allotment inspection day so probably good that we were up there working! Also covered the strawberries with some decent bird netting so we actually get to eat some of the fruit:
