    Hi,

    I've a 6x4 greenhouse, facing south west until about 2pm when my house blocks the sun.

    Can I start growing bedding plants in my unheated greenhouse now (March) if I put plastic lids over them or should I leave it a month?

      Hello @clum111 - last year I did use my unheated greenhouse at this time of year, and it was still fairly chilly especially on a night. So yes, I'd say you can already use yours, too :) .

            Depends what the plants are, if they are tender you'll need to cover with fleece on cold nights or bring them indoors if it gets frosty.

              Can small courgettes which have stopped growing and are slightly soft be eaten?
