after reading some of the threads already posted to give me confidence, I sowed some rocket seeds in my mini plastic greenhouse thingy last weekend.
That is pretty much my growing equipment, the mini plastic greenhouse thing and some cheap plastic troughs, standing on the strip of concrete laughingly called a patio! Encourage by the rapid appearance of seedlings, I have planted more seeds this weekend - stubby carrots, spring onions, mizuna, lollo rosa, lolla biunda (?). They are all in little 3"pots or single cells as I'm hoping it will be easier for me to see whats happening as they progress.The greenhouse stands against the fence right up against the house and gets the early morning sun up to about 10am, then its in shade for the rest of the day.
Question:is it ok to leave the plastic cover on the greenhouse, or should I replace it with the white one that came with it for shading and frost protection?
Question: any ideas for other quick growing/cropping stuff I can try as a beginner? Am allergic to capsicum type peppers, but apart from that, could try anything.
Any other advice you would like to share will be gratefully received - hungry for knowledge!!!
