Hi all
Not posted on here for a good few months due to pc problems but nice to be back
I need some advice as I had some problems last year - I have a plastic greenhouse 6 x 4. Last year I started off from seeds in the house, tomatoes (Alicante) Peppers, Cucumbers (Marketmore)
I put the cucumbers and toms into grobags and the peppers into large tubs when they were big enough. They all grew well and flowered but that was it - nothing else really happened !! I got 2 very small cucmbers, around 2" long, they did not grow anymore. I got a harvest of 2 toms altogether!! They were a decent size but 2 ?? from 3 plants ?? and the peppers, 6 plants on total, I got a pepper 1" long and then it stopped growing!
Can anyone tell me what went wrong? It had a steady temperature of about 65 to 70 degrees. I closed the door at night to keep the heat in and only opened it halfway in the day if it was a bit cool. I did not over water as the grobags seem to stay very moist. The greenhouse is not in direct sun but a sheltered spot, no sun gets onto it at all. I used the appropriate feeds on all of them
I hope someone can help with this as it was my first year of using a greenhouse and I am so disillusioned I may not use it this year!
I think I have given all the info but feel free to ask any questions if it helps you help me
