Greenhouse Growing

Hello Ian and welcome to G.C,unfortunatly you are a bit late to sow a lot of things this year,but you can still get away with sowing a couple of things like pak choi on the vegetable side or on the flower side you have sweet wiliams or forget me nots you will JUST get away with.

The idea of building a wooden greenhouse really appeals to me, having just spent the last few evenings sawing up rafters for my extension. I think I missed my vocation, I love the smell of the cut wood, really like going to the timber yard looking at wood and get a lot of satisfaction looking at...

I would have sworn that I posted a reply in here. It must be that preview button again.Anyway, thanks for the Papyrus ID. When I told 'Er indoors, who is the real gardener here, that peeps thought it was papyrus she replied"Oh good. I thought that was lost a few years ago. Never seen the...

Polycarbonate is the best choice of the synthetic options but some of these greenhouses look quite weak. As glass is heavy it requires a good solid frame, so glass greenhouses tend to be better built. I would suggest you invest in cedar wood frame glasshouse as my wooden greenhouse has a much...

Bhindi, are you actually growing anything in the greenhouse, or just playing with the blind?:D:D:D

Hi David. With it being warm today and possibly tomorrow i have noticed today that my tomato plants leaves are starting to curl upwards ,Is this a sign of over/under watering they have not changed colour yet, anyone else on the forum is more than welcome to chip into this.Regards

You can even keep the door open, veggie, if you so wish.:D However, I would use something to keep any cats out. Also, you would get much better air circulation if you put the vent in. Makes for a healthier enviroment for your plants. :thumb:

They can be a bit slow early on if grown from seed in the current year. I tend to overwinter a plant, in the greenhouse. I get a lot of self sown ones every year, so I pot one up in july for the next year. They like sunshine, so if its a bit shady where your growing them, you could try...

Greenhouse, I think you are right, it sounds like scorch.

HiI bought a new greenhouse last year, because I have little peeps around sometimes I went for toughened glass but I did splash out on the automatic roof windows and I am really glad I did they are brilliant, and you don't have to keep popping out to open and close them.Happy gardening,...

Mine kathy have been growing greenhouse for a wee while by the way got two more new clients yesterday since I spoke to you will soon need my wee helper

Growing fast Kathy, I had only just sown mine two days ago but they were up this morning. Mine were Flying Saucers and Black Knight, what are yours?

Went to Homebase this afternoon, saw two louvre window openers marked down to £4.99. Bought them both.

Kathy, they closed the last mill in Darvel the back end of last year and moved the loom to the last remaining mill in Newmilns. Morton,Young & Borland actually make cloth for Laura Ashley and a few big designer names that escape me.Mary/high kype, i may take you up on that offer thanks all.

Hi helen, no got it about six weeks ago, when we had the earth wobly we had extremly bad winds in the week after if you remember that was when my last gh lost the will to stay standing, but i was insured so not too bad,my last one was mounted on 4x4 about 6 years ago didnt know much about them...

Just keep them well watered and they will do fine.I notice you mention cucumbers too. I have had problems in the past with getting them started. They have a nasty habit of rotting off at the neck if you overwater them. When you plant them raise them up a bit onto a mound and dont overwater...

Thankyouthankyouthankyou!

prices change from shop to shop, never mind scarborough to Woking!

We have just moved to a house with a large conservatory, 5 meters by 3.75 metres or 16 feet by 8 feet!My wife wishes to store her pot plants in here for the winter, which means a minimum temperature of 8 C.Any thoughts on heating, she doesn't want bubble wrap!!

Hi Kazy let me ask do you have defused sheets on the roof?.If you do you will notmneed shading.
