  • Partial Shade

    I was gifted a greenhouse recently which although it is fab is much smaller than I was initially told. This has resulted in rather a lot of plants requiring greenhouse space.
    My question is out of aubergines, sweet peppers and cucumbers, which is best to put in my green aldi blow-away which will be situated on the east side of the south facing garden so from mid/late afternoon part of it will be in shade.
    I was thinking the cucumbers would be the best in there.
    What do you peeps think?
    Nestled somewhere in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Good soil, strong winds and 4 Giant Puffballs!

    Cucumbers would probably cope best with that, yeah. I grow mine in my conservatory, which doesn't have the best light transmission (seedlings always get pretty leggy), but they always do fine. And cucumbers, unlike the other two, don't need to actually ripen their fruit.

      I usually end up shading my GH cucs it just gets to hot for them, that's with auto vent. louvers and the door open. So i'm sure yours will do fine there.
