Squash - Yellow Leaves
the atrocious weather we are having at the moment!  I only plant my squash and cucumber seeds in pots at the beginning of May and will hopefully be able to harden them off and plant out at the beginning of June.  I find it a bit hit-and-miss growing squash by Bob - UK

What can I grow in a greenhouse...
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! You can grow your onions and garlic by Tootles

Thanks for any information The first one looks like Fox-and-cubs, Orange Hawkweed. It's a wildflower. You can actually buy them in garden centres. Some people might consider it a 'weed'. I have some in my own garden. It does actually grow quite well by Hollie- Hock

can you have too much night
effect on the veggies. Just think of the extra gardening hours to be had!!! P.s What Island are you on? Miss B x It helps!. Many commercial growers keep their lighting on up to 24 hours a day for tomatoes, chillis, cucumbers, bedding plants, foliage by natures grafter
