Thanks but the key question is/was - Is an unheated greenhouse okay
for all but the coldest nights (I live in North Leeds)? Feeding?


I think I answered that by g9iving you my experience in an unheated
porch. And since I live within 10 miles of you, I think it was
probably as good an answer as you could reasonably expect.

Um, I think it may also depends on what pelargoniums he is growing.

Perhaps, but having taking the trouble to give an informative reply, it
might have been nicer to get something other than the grumps ;-)

Thanks for all responses, but i have not seen Kay's reply regarding an
unheated porch - if you could post again I would be grateful and let me know
if this was with overwintering older plants or newly raised stocks from
seedlings.

Many thanks

The message
from Kay Easton contains these words:

Don't feel you need to grow on *all* of those which have germinated,
if
you won't have use for 50 plants in the future.

Quite. Pot them on and either sell them or give them to a competent
charity shop to sell.

Welcome to the madho^^^^garden, BTW.

I have a pelargonium which lives happily all year round in an unheated
porch in NW Leeds. Your greenhouse will be a bit colder, because it
won't get the heat from the house. And the pelargoniums won't like the
frost. And of course mine is a tough old plant, not a tender young
seedling. They'll appreciate the extra light. But don't just put them
straight out there - take several days of putting them out for longer
periods and harden them off.

Go to Google, click on 'groups', type in uk.rec.gardening in the search
box, then tick the 'search in uk.rec.gardening only' box and search on
'unheated porch Kay' and the first item gives the thread you are after -
click to see all articles, and mine is the second.

It's quicker to do than to explain! ;-)

Oh, and yes, it was older plants.
