    Hi,

    I've a 6x4 greenhouse, facing south west until about 2pm when my house blocks the sun.

    Can I start growing bedding plants in my unheated greenhouse now (March) if I put plastic lids over them or should I leave it a month?

      Hello @clum111 - last year I did use my unheated greenhouse at this time of year, and it was still fairly chilly especially on a night. So yes, I'd say you can already use yours, too :) .

            Depends what the plants are, if they are tender you'll need to cover with fleece on cold nights or bring them indoors if it gets frosty.

              How can I protect a pot grown Christmas tree when putting it outside?
