Greenhouse Growing

All brilliant replies, thanks guys! I did think I was pushing my luck a bit but worth asking. Fern, we should compare new sheds! I'm trying to decide what colour to paint mine... Dark seeded beans are hardier - good to know. Stupid question but what is yellow mustard? Like you eat with...

We have not had much sunshine here for the last few weeks and everything in the greenhouse is suffering. All my toms seem to develop a white mould and the fruit rotted at the bottom, the cucumbers were not quite so bad had quite a few of them but it seems to have finished flowering now and has...

I am looking for one to 8X6 Glass, i have been on ebay but the real baragins are at the end of the season they seem to go for like £80, this time of year they are going for 150-200 yes i know i am a bit thrifty but there is a recession on

I have a Freecycle greenhouse, old and in need of care - but free..anyway, the glass panes are very fragile and a number have splintered and broken. I have got a nice big roll of polythene sheet and am thinking of throwing this over the greenhouse, or indeed, remove all the glass and just use...

thanks for info

Just as well you discovered the mistake or you could have ended up with a VERY small greenhouse!

Oh really, Close it at night, okay thanks @pete will do. Guess that will stop the slugs too !!

i prefer diy so i know i can fix it if/when it breaks Steve, Sounds like double glazing might be better for your location or perhaps twinwall polycarbonate if you don`t mind that opaque look. Perhaps they`ll give a discount if you buy it without the styrene..unlikely but might be worth a try.

Hi,Thanks for your replies, will wait until March to sow. Will probably add some more varietys as suggested. Thanks again

Cor, that's a good idea, Peter.

Has anybody ever tried two greenhouses, one into the other and a gap in between? I've heard it mentioned today on radio, but most people thought that the greenhouses would be of better use if kept separately for partitions etc..

For your main season shading, always on the outside where possible as it keep the inside temperature down, internal shading does not, as the heat has go through the glazing.For you seedlings it really sounds like you need to do some easy to fix and remone shading as you will need to protect...

Hi Walnut no not sleeping just keeping my plants cosy this will be for next season as now I am self employed as a Lady Gardner also have orders for hanging baskets so this will be a place to keep them before I pass them to their owners to tend to.My husband will be doing the electrics in...

I have had this too this year, I assumed it was something to do with the make up of the growbags/compost I’ve been using (it’s been a bit hit and miss where I have been able to buy compost-due to obvious reasons), as I have everything in containers, thought maybe a greater percentage of wood...

Thanks for the advice Dave W.Much appriciated.

Using the IP camera installed in the greenhouse and the remote thermometer in the house I was able to monitor the device; sure enough the light was turned on at 2 degrees C. It is nice when something works like they claim it would, and, I expect to reclaim the cost of the device in electricity...

Pal, not doubting your advice but wouldnt the glazing tape be a better bet than silicone. If the glass breaks its a pregnant dog to clean silicone off.

We all do it , every year, never learn... !!

I've really got the wind up now. I've got all my half hardies covered in straw and I'm nervous of looking under it in case I find a rat (or two).
