                Welcome Theo.

                Talk about a child opening up presents. I think we have all been there, and possibly still get excited at times. So at last, the greenhouse. Now I can create my own climate etc. Just think about all those plants and flowers I will be growing. Already we have overfilled the house, and the conditions we have set our target on, probably won't be acceptible to all the plants. So pause a while and come back down to earth. This is by no means a criticism, but sound advise. You will be spending a lot of time and money with your new venture.
                It's great when all those seed trays suddenly become full of plants. Oh' dear. I've run out of space. Mind you. You will always suddenly have many friends, who after craftily asking how's the greenhouse going, and go home with armfuls of plants. Don't worry. You probably won't see them until same time next year.
                Greenhouse gardening certainly opens up a new world for you and presents you with a much wider horizon. I hope you get much pleasure out of your greenhouse. Forum members are always here and are onlt too pleased to offer help and advice. All the best.
