What can I grow in a greenhouse...

Posted: 18/02/2013 at 21:45

I'll get some basil and chilli seeds ooh and aubergine too!

Thanks sooooo much for the advice folks.

I am warned bunnysgarden! Am still a novice and can't hold my water - I'd be out there now if it wasn't for an early start for work tomorrow!

Thanks sotongeoff. I'll hold fire and perhaps just buy some seeds for now. Heck, I planted some kohl rabi seeds and they are up too! Luckily there are lots of seeds in the packet so enough to take-two when it is warmer.

Good question Tractorboy - I'd love to know the answer too. Also, is it ok to put manure in greenhouse beds?

Hello folks, may I ask what else other than tomatoes and cucumbers is good to grow in a greenhouse? It's my first year as a proud owner of one. Can I grow onions and garlic in them? Thanking you for any tips!

Hello, yes I agree. Lovely to get sowing isn't it? May I ask your opinion though pls? I planted some tomato seeds last week and they are up already. I had them in a utility room. It has a window put not mega bright. They looked like they were stretching for light so I put them in the greenhouse.....but it's not heated and I'm worried that the little seedlings might freeze. Is it best to bring them back in especially with the cold weather coming? Or do you think they'll be ok in the greenhouse?

Irrigation in the greenhouse

Posted: 30/01/2013 at 22:30

Hello - I'd like to set up some kind of irrigation system in my greenhouse but I have no idea where to start. I have googled the topic and have found water bags with hoses attached and they seem quite cheap. Has anyone used these or does anyone have any recommendations on how to set up an irrigation system? I want to grow some tommies and cucumbers - thirsty fellas! Thanks as always for any tips.
