Lowest (night) greenhouse temperature - still 14 degrees...
 

I check out the greenhouse thermometer every morning and the coldest
temperature yet recorded this autumn is still only 14 degrees C!

This is a 10ft x 8ft glass, ridge, greenhouse with no heating or insulation.

The tomatoes are still flowering well and several sweet pepper plants that I
didn't discard are now beginning to flower again and form another lot of
baby fruits.

I guess I won't get a chance to clear out and disinfect until it becomes
absolutely vital - next March?

Same here - in Leeds, Yorkshire!

This is a 10ft x 8ft glass, ridge, greenhouse with no heating or
insulation.


Mine's an 8 x 6 one with no frills.

Tomatoes were/are still floweriing but I've been cutting them off, I can't
see fruits having a chance.
