    I decided I didn't have enough room in my porch (and no spare porche either ;) ) for my seedlings. So when we went to the gaden centre today - regular sunday outing to get the kids out of the house and have cake :) - we bought a little pop up plastic greenhouse. :D I'm very excited.
    I know it probably won't last, but at the moment we're not really in a position to have anything permanent because the garden's going to change a lot. So I thought it will be fine until then.

    Now. I've put my tomato and sunflower seeds in it. They're in seed trays with plastic lids over the top. Will they be warm enough in there (they haven't germinated yet), or should i move them back to the porch until they show some signs of life?
    I'm in Manchester and it's not hot, but it's definitely not freezing either.

    They'll be fine although may take a tad longer to germinate than if you had them indoors.

    Thank you!
    I might move some back inside then - especially evie's because I don't think she'll want to wait longer than absolutely necessary!

    It's good to hear how excited you are with your first greenhouse! Don't worry about the size of it because you'll probably get more pleasure out it than some with a big greenhouse. Grow as much as you can!!
