    Hi weyms and welcome.
    You should fill your greenhouse with tomato plants. Nothing healthier and easy to grow. I am a newcomer to this board too and have just started a blog about organic tomato growing. You might get some ideas from there.

    Thank you all for the warm welcome.

    Depending on the weather I think I will give the Veg patch a dig over if this is the right time of year to do this.
    sylveen you will be please to know I have planted tomato seeds in the greenhouse.

    Is your greenhouse heated? If not you should cover your seedlings with fleece as soon as they appear. You must tuck them up in bed every night while there is a danger of frost.

    Hi Sylveen,
    yes it is heated and they are covered for extra protection along with all the other seed trays of other veg and flower seeds we have on the go.

    We have only planted what the books say to plant this time of year.
