  • Greenhouse

    So, we had a greenhouse put in our courtyard this year. Due to some [insert expletive] builder, we were about 6 weeks later putting it in, so it was installed the second week in May. So - I had to hold back alot of toms and peppers until it was installed.

    It is a wooden one...made locally and installed by the chaps who made it.

    Anyway - I've just realised, it is nearly November and there's still lots of toms and peppers to come - I've even got a cuke still growing with a small one ready to pick this weekend.

    Kinda chuffed; having tomatoes in October was going to be good - let alone November and [possibly, maybe] December.

    I love my greenhouse.

      I bought one of those Gardman green houses 6x4 and its been brilliant, I've been able to grow much more than I would have done without it, off hand I can't remember how much it was, but its been priceless to me

        I might be looking at something like that (Mr S has unexpectedly cashed a policy or something): would you be willing to tell me who made it and how much? Linky? (PM if you prefer)

          Mine's only a cheapy polycarb one from N****** Greenhouses, but it's worth it's weight in gold. Really does extend the growing season. Still got a few chillies, and the tomatoes only finished cos they'd outgrown their allotted space - every fruit ripened and picked.

            Mine's an even cheaper, covered with plastic-on-a-roll Norfolk Greenhouse, and it's still a godsend. The little 6x4 one in the back garden is fantastic for raising plants early in the year and doesn't cost a fortune to keep above 5c. The bigger one on the lottie is worth it's weight in non-blighted, vine-ripened-tomatoes

            I'm not going to be getting tomatoes in December, mine are all over now because I was too stingy to keep the gas heater running in the lottie g/house But we've still got peppers and chillis in the little 6x4 in the garden

              I inherited one of my my ramshackle greenhouses in mid January about three years back.
              Once I got into it there were tomato plants left by the previous occupant, still in pots which had nice ripe edible tomatoes on them! Bearing in mind this was in a cold greemhouse in the North East of England...........to say I was flabbergasted was an understatement........my flabber has never been so gasted!!
