Stockport/Manchester


You want to grow veges at 54 degrees north in mid winter, where the daily
temperature is about 1 to 7 Celcius and you will get 1 to 2 hours of sun
daily. My TOTH head estimate is you will not grow much of anything. If
you are intent on this select cold tolerant things like brassicas. I have
no experience of growing in such chilly places and I defer to those who do
on this. Look for a local gardening club where people who actually do
this kind of stuff can give you good information.


The Brits who I know of who do garden seem to use their green houses for
starting off seedlings but they do it a lot later in the year. I seem ot
recall one mentionign that she started in March or April.
