Where are you from?

I'm not a green house owner and have never used one, so can't help with that. Just wanted to welcome you to our little corner of the 'net

 

Hi welcome to GC

 

Welcome to GC Milnrowdale

Happy Retirement and New Home

I'm no expert but your greenhouse looks in fairly good condition. When I moved I inherited a wooden one and most of the glass was cracked or had fallen out. I replaced them quiet easily, cleaned it out and gave it all a good wash with Jayes Fluid

You have certainly come to the right forum, everyone is very helpful and friendly Look forward to watching your progress

 

Welcome to Gardeners corner

Not knowing what's been grown in there or if there were any diseases, might be an idea to replace the soil with some new compost or spent mushroom compost

 

Welcome to Gardeners Corner Milnrowdale. May I ask, are you a gardening beginner? It will tell us how much help you need.

Soz i read it wrong i thought u had said im from milnrowdale x

 

Thanks all for your welcome, I have not had a garden to speak of at our previous home, so now I have a garden and time, I hope to make the most of it. The greenhouse is a bonus, but is absolutely filthy. so needs a good clean. there is a bench which is in good condition, what looks like an old kitchen cabinet which is rotten and a walk board which also rotten, so those will be thrown away. there is no soil, just a concrete base so I presume grow bags or pots will have to be used.
as to what to grow? don't know yet, cleaning comes first

 

A very warm from me too.

Firstly happy retirement & I hope you will be very happy in your new home

The greenhouse looks great, you are spot on to give it a good clean, as already suggested use some bleach or jeyes fluid they will both kill off any diseases which are lerking in there . Grow bags are good but they need a lot of watering, last year for the first time (as recommend on here) I bought 3 bags of compost & cut them in half & used those for my tomatoes. I also grow cucumbers in my greenhouse others grow peppers .
Do ask as many questions as you need to there's lots of very knowledgeable friendly people on here who are only to pleased to help . I shall look forward to hearing all about your garden
