Starting things off in Greenhouse
"judith" wrote... I am quite keen on trying different things this year. I do not have a big garden so I am more interested in quality rather than quantity. To this end I like to start things off in the greenhouse. What do people think to starting cabbages, sprouts, broccoli and the like in the greenhouse? Is it worth it? Any tips? Whilst we do start most things off in our little heated greenhouse the Brassicas we start in "Rootrainers" of normal multipurpose compost outside (on the garage roof). They do not need a high temperature to germinate. -- Regards Bob Hobden 17mls W. of London.UK |

It's made of wood glazed with large sheets of acrylic and is a "lean-to" on the end of our polycarbonate roofed garage, size about 6ft by 9ft and has one outside door and one into the back of the garage. Make...me. :-) -- Regards Bob Hobden |

A greenhouse fan heater, and I don't want to think about the costs! Anyway it is a lot cheaper than what friends pay to try to knock a little white ball down a hole. :-) -- Regards Bob Hobden |
