Verdun - do you also propagate using the prunings in a vase method ? Might try that this year

Hi Rosebud

there was a questionnaire about this a couple of weeks ago - I have just bumped it up to the top of the forum so you can easily find it and have a read!

i remember because I am having similar problems, even though we are on acid soil

I just love your garden

What veg to grow in my partially shaded greenhouse?

Posted: 12/05/2013 at 17:22

I have a part shaded GH too (it is soon to be moved - but that's another story!). Cucumbers work well for me, and I get some tomatoes,although not many. I get early strawberries by bringing them in in May (then putting them back outside once fruit is over - they need to be cold in the winter). I also do well with basil and parsley.

Hope that helps

Lizzie - I said photos of uh our irises would be lovely - and I was right . Never tire of seeing pictures of your garden! Irises are one of my favourites - especially the purple and blue ones. Thanks for indulging me

Wow Paul - what a view!

on shrubs for cutting - there are lots. Hydrangeas take well, so do viburnums. I would recommend Carol Klein's book Grow your own garden - it is my current guide to everything on propagation.

Hi Mike

they are all hardy so will be quite happy in pots in a quiet corner of the garden ( I'd choose a shady corner ). Just don't forget they will need watering in dry spells like any other container.

Nut - yes we are in the sunny south east - but at the bottom of a steep valley - it's finally dawned on me (after 7 years) that we are probably in a "frost pocket" - at the very least we have our own micro-climate. Now I feel special!!
