  • Please show me your greenhouse!?

    My greenhouse last year was extremely compact and bijou, so layout wasn't much of a worry! I've now got a 7ft x 12ft one, so I have a few more options. I suppose the obvious one is just to have staging at each side but of course that leaves quite a gap in the middle. I'd really like to see, or hear, how other people have laid theirs out.

    If it helps, it's laid on concrete paving and I'm planning to mainly use it for tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and flowers.

    I was feeling part of the scenery
    I walked right out of the machinery
    My heart going boom boom boom

    This is what mine looked like last year - staging at one end (window end) with chillis & peppers on, cucumbers in the middle (most humid part) in flower buckets sat in a watering tray, tomatoes at door end in big pots in watering trays. The only thing I'll change this year is the tomatoes - Jez has managed to find some really big packing crates (5ft x 1ft) which we're going to use as 'beds' as an experiment. Hoping it'll be easier to keep the toms watered that way

      It was your pic on another thread that inspired me to ask, Sarah! Yours looks like a really good balance of crop heights and varieties

        I haven't got one of our 8' x 6' greenhouse in full crop, but its got a path of slabs down the middle and borders either side which we plant into.

        I went looking at our old piccies and found one of last years 'babies' - they really appreciated being walked up and down to the g/h in the early spring.

        - ahhh!

              I think there's a thread somewhere with pics of inside NickTG's greenhouse... Could be in the Showcase section? I'll have a hunt...
              Here it is;

                Thanks for the pics and links (and to you seasprout ).

                I like Nick's high up shelves!

                  I don't have a pic handy but i have a 9.5 X9 greenhouse with double doors. I have a row of paving slabs down the middle. A line of metal staging on the other and put all my tomato pots or growbags on the other side. I don't use the soil in the greenhouse beds because after a while it will be spent and is too hard to replace.

                  And when your back stops aching,
                  And your hands begin to harden.
                  You will find yourself a partner,
                  In the glory of the garden.
