Blooming gardening, the best sort!

Enjoy your growing and the Vine.

Welcome to the 'vine', blutone. If your grow house is one of these tubular framework and polythene cover thingies, make sure it's tied to something immovable as they are prone to get airborn in strong winds and watch the temperature on hot summer days, because they are small, the temp inside gets very hot very quick.

[blutone]

will do ,terrier,but ive got some full troughs in there now so that should keep it down eh?

[lumpyjumper]

Welcome Blutone, this place gets really addictive, a bit like growing your own I suppose

I've just put up my 4 tier greenhouse thingy, and Mr LJ is going to fasten it to the house with some curtain wire and hooks, so he tells me!

It's fairly sheltered but I don't want to take any chances! I've just moved my chitting potatoes into it! more light and much cooler than the utility room window.

theres some right horror stories on here about these plastic houses,but hopefully mine is only small,so i might make it ok,good luck with the wind lj

Hi and welcome !
I made a grow house out of an old table turn upside down and some plastic sheet! actually it looks great!! no problem with the wind...hihihi
enjoy the chat with us, a lot to learn and to talk to here!

Welcome blutone. I cant condone your choice of team however you did us a big favour a short while ago.
Be very careful with your growhouse, I lost one earlier on this year. I tied it down, put soil and gravel and even sleepers on the base, and it still went. Not only did the plastic go, but the metal frame was trashed as well.
Enjoy the vine though, very friendly

HI!

SNAP!

your situation sounds exactly like mine!

this is my first post, so i'm spending it on you

i'm getting old because i never got the point of green stuff. but now i'm hooked!

not even started yet though(apart from having tatties chitting away on me windowsill)...i'm beginning to think that i've left everything too late...and i'm thinking that everything is just gunna be a flop...

oh, and i'm REALLY intrigued by the thought of lunar planting.

anyways. good luck

i am doing ok,spring onions just poking thru after 3 weeks,tom plants on the window sill are going mad,little gems doing ok,only thing im concerned about are the bell peppers,they look poorly. however my anya seed potts are chitting slowly up on the bedroom sill......i dont think you are late i reckon i was early so dont worry too much,ive learnt that in one month so im now delaying sowing any more seeds for another week or two cos the weather is turning cold again..........anyways good luck for your growing an keep us posted!!

Mine blew away as well, ruined a load of little radishes. Have tried weighing it down again and moved it further down the garden (hopefully more sheltered). Wish I had room for a real greenhouse!

great name indeed, but it doesn't refer to YOUR team



oh, and cheers for that, you've put my mind at a little more ease now
