Greenhouse checklist

9 - 15 December 2013

It's time to...

Keep potted herbs on the staging to crop over winter
Move potted bulbs into the greenhouse to develop before bringing into the house
Clear out old crops and growing bags
Water sparingly and aim to keep the atmosphere as dry as possible over winter to reduce the spread of disease
Check dahlia tubers and bulbs in store for signs of rot
Pick off fading or diseased leaves from pelargoniums and other plants
Continue ventilating the greenhouse on warm days
Cut down chrysanthemums after flowering
Prune dormant vines
