Greenhouse Growing

I'd put them on a windowsill in the house. East or West facing, and at the South end of the windowsill so they only get direct sun first/last thing. Might not be practical if you have a lot of pots of cuttings though ... as "Understanding spouse" will be an advantage for successful applicants!

Thanks for the replies, great help. Freecycle sounds good but what sort of condition will the panels be in and also I do need something resilient so they don't shatter easy. In addition, I have been consider some polycarbonate greenhouse panels what is the overall consensus on this?

I thought Ziggy mite have something to do with it

Hello Gemini and all, I'm new to the forum, but I too am lining the Greenhouse with bubble wrap! Really trying to save more Cacti this year, the last 2-3 have been very bad. I Did it a few years ago, but after 2 years or so if falls to pieces, as it is only cheap bubble wrap and not UV...

Hi intel. A very neat and tidy looking job, well done

Spot on. In a small greenhouse I recommend not trying to grow both Toms and Cues - they need different conditions really - much easier to achieve that in a larger greenhouse. So if you eat plenty of Toms I'd stick to them as it will give you best bang-for-buck. Growing things that you like...

Mine too

You can sow Parsley in autumn, for it to grow (slowly) through winter.

I don't think you really want drippers then, one-per-pot, fiddly to set up and if one of them blocks then that plant won't get watered ... probably rather expensive too (although you would then have automated watering thereafter ...) You could put some capillary matting on the bench, and the...

Ah, sorry to hear that :(

Quite right. I was assuming that it was intended for 'normal' use. Toms and the like...

Nice plants Bilbo. On the Brug front, I'm tending to think its more to do with acclimatization to sunny outside conditions, its not been hot by any means this summer, in fact mine would, I'm sure have preferred more sun than they are getting. Now the Melianthus, I find always wilts in full...

The zonal variety can withstand fairly low temperatures but need shelter from hoar frost. We used to keep ours outside for a fair few years from the late 90s to 2008 by growing against a sheltered wall but they were killed in 2009. This winter many gardeners around here successfully...

Very nice! That will keep you busy for many many hours. Enjoy! Kayleigh

It's a shame that you can't smell it Sheal as it's delightful in that sense too!

I have read a post here (by Shiney perhaps?) about how much energy a heater uses, and how often it comes on etc. It varies from Winter to Winter, but in an average winter is really quite modest. The more you pay attention to insulation the less it will cost you though .... so go all-out on...

Hi, can any of you good people recommend a grape that i can grow in a greenhouse that ive just got. Im after one that wouldnt be the size of a triffid and can be grown in a large pot Many tks for any advice
