I am pretty much a newbie gardener. I took early retirement last year and I am now starting to enjoy my garden, having spent the last 3 months building walls and beds! I have now put up my first greenhouse and I plan to do the usual stuff with tomatoes etc next year. My question now is, what can I do with it this year? It is a 6'x6' and is in a position such that one side i partially shaded whilst the other side gets the sun for most of the day.
I hope to sow bedding plants for the garden in readiness for early planting next year but for now I would be happy for any tips. In fact, I would be happy for any tips at all to help me get the most out of the greenhouse.
Many thanks

Hi Ian,
If you like spring onions then get your self a packet of Welsh Onion seeds. Plant then in little groups of 10. Do this fortnightly till you have 3 bumches coming. Heres the magic part, when the forst bunch is ready for harvesting dig up the whole bunch, rip it in half and put half back in the hole. They will regrow and bunch again. These onions will grow all the year round in a corner of the greenhouse and last forever. Hence the common name Everlasting onions. I replace 1 bunch completely every 3 years as they tend to run to seed about that time.
