What type of greenhouse do you have !?
Some photos will be great...as anything is better than the shelf ...

Im growing tomatoes, cucumbers, corgettes, beans, spinach, radish, onion, dill, coriander,basil, carots,beetroot,salad.
Not trying anything exotic as is my second year and i'm still "listening" to what plants wants...

Most important than what "we" grow is the magic 5: temperature,humidity,ventilation,lighting and watering.All 5 in a good fertile soil...

Enjoy it !

Cherry tomatoes, salads, sugarsnap peas, strawberries, basil, sweetcorn. Would like to grow chillies but we're not into the really hot ones and can't find any fairly mild ones in garden centres. Currently enjoying a fine daily crop of strawberries and sugarsnaps.

How do you keep your greenhouse plants watered while on holiday?
I’m looking at the Hazelock automatic irrigation kit to keep mine safe when I am away

CO2 is essential for plants to grow but once you have the greenhouse ventilation sorted the fresh air will replace the CO2 used.

Here is a video clip of a strawberry flowering in my greenhouse back in April. They are yielding nice fruit now. Also have some raspberry plants that stretched in from outside the tunnel to grow up inside. Got an early crop of very tasty raspberries last year and looks like some are on their way to being ready to pick soon. Also have some lettuce, thyme, fennel, various flower seedlings belonging to the neighbor and a merlot grape vine which is just about to flower. Going planting some courgettes in the tunnel soon after getting them started on the windowsill where it's a bit warmer.

"Hey neighbour may I ask you for a favour?"


After yesterday's greenhouse dilemma (Lidl's was sold out in like minutes) I ordered a bigger one.
I have a few years on my back growing veg in the tiniest balcony gardens and because my actual garden is a mess (just bought the house), I grow in pots this year.
I'll move the tomatoes in the greenhouse and the coriander plants I have, they are divas to grow. Sugarsnaps I'll move inside too.
Everything else I'll be keeping outdoors but I'll get some lettuce going inside plus a few flowers. Will use it for a winter harvest of lamb's lettuce, onion and kale.
Might get some courgettes going too.
