I want my plants toughened up for winter. They're outside at the moment.
Very small and borderline hardys can go in the cold GH later (much later)
In the sticks near Peterborough
My greenhouse is full,
I'v got tomatoes, basil,aoneoms,tradescantia, a large Hoya in flower, a Pomegranate,several Clivias, cuttings of salvia Hot lips,geraniums, penstemon,lavenders. I think I could do with a larger greenhouse.
6 assorted chillies, 2 mother pesntemons I use for cuttings and one over excited fig I have just had to prune heavily to allow light and air to its fruits.
Far too hot here to stick anything else in there yet but it'll get my gunnera and some hostas and lillies in pots to over winter plus my bay tree and the pineapple sage and fuchsia and penstemon cuttings.
Dahlia tubers will be stored in the garage which won't freeze and some fuchsia parents and pelargoniums will go in the cool attic (as opposed to cold) under the Velux so they can hibernate safely and get an occasional drink just to keep them ticking over..
At the moment I have
Various Primulas that I divided at the end of August all doing well.
Geranium Cuttings
Penstemon Cuttings
Lavender Cuttings
Osteospermum cuttings which Ive just potted on
Scotch Bonnet chillis
Cheyenne Chillis
Sweet Banana Chillis
A small Agapanthus which is taking its time growing :P
I think thats it but It will all get added too and moved out etc as the Winter months draw in
Oh and all the Spring Bulbs that I just potted up
both sides of the path in my greenhouse are full of chilli plants with fruits ripening.
I've lots of tom plants, one cue plant left with one cue still growing various chilli plants, with mainly red fruit on, and three sweet pepper plants, me bought these as chilli plants according to the label but the heat in them is zero and onions waiting to be platted up.
I would usually have some late sown biennials in there at this time but sowed them earlier this year and they're all outside, in pots, looking good to be planted out although still a tab bit small.
Egyptian Paper Plant
Penstemmon Cuttings
Lavender cuttings
Lupins grown from seed
Hollyhocks grown from seed
Pelargonium cuttings
Nemesias that I'm hoping to overwinter
Ixia bulbs
I've still to take cuttings from my fushias
There's more but my brain isn't working at the moment.
My lupins are quite sturdy, so are the hollyhocks, I'm really not sure weather to keep them in the greenhouse over winter or plant them out. Any views welcome
Oh Ive also got
Cosmos Choccomocca
Coleus cuttings
Stephanosis (spelling)
Purple daisies that close at night (cant think of the name but love the colour so want to make sure they overwinter)
