Greenhouse job checklist - week 7

11 - 17 February 2013

It's time to...

Hand pollinate the flowers of peaches and nectarine, with a soft brush
Cut off hippeastrum flower heads, leaving the stalk
Sow summer-bedding plants in trays in a heated propagator or in the greenhouse
Plant dahlia tubers in trays to encourage shoots to develop, which you can use as cuttings
Pot on houseplants and ferns into slightly larger pots
Insulate the greenhouse with polythene to improve insulation and seal windows
