Greenhouse job checklist - week 27

1 - 7 July 2013

It's time to...

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
