Greenhouse checklist

28 June - 4 July 2010

Use this page as a checklist for this week's most important tasks.

It's printer friendly so you could pin it up in your garden shed.

Take cuttings of zonal and regal pelargoniums, and pot up rooted cuttings taken earlier
Train the main stem of cucumber plants up a wire to the roof of your greenhouse. Pinch out sideshoots two leaves after a flower or fruit
Water plants in pots and grow bags with tepid water, if possible. Try leaving a few full cans of water in the greenhouse to warm up
Send off for biological pest controls for whitefly and red spider mite
Propagate lilies from bulb scales, digging bulbs from the garden to remove a few healthy scales, then replanting again. Small bulblets will form at the base of each scale within a few weeks
