    As a new greenhouse gardener looking for advice, can i ask is your greenhouse heated or do you not need it heated for these plants?

    I am as new as you to growing. No heat in my greenhouse but have covered pots with a sheet of perspex to keep the cold off them. Seems to be working.

    Hello Hazel and Veg. If you don't know about garden fleece can I recommend you buy some of that for your greenhouse seedlings. It's very cheap and you can get it in B & Q or any garden centre.
    A sheet thrown over plants and seedlings in the greenhouse will protect them against several degrees of frost. and is invaluable at night. If the weather turns cold it can be left on for days at a time and the plants come to no harm.
    It can be used outdoors too for young plants which benefit from some protection or are out to be hardened off.
    I don't know what I would do without it.
