How big's this greenhouse?

I know when my mum has grown strawberries in pots in her greenhouse they've done really well and ended up huge!

Not a tom but I grew T&M Cucino F1 Hybrid cucumbers last year, these are mini cukes, absolutely gorgeous, link: Cucumber : Cucino F1 Hybrid (Seeds)

The one at home is 6x8m but i've built a homemade one at the lottie 2mx1.8m and i,ve got 2 tomato house's bout 1.5msq

[Flummery]

6x8m- metres - that's huge. Do you mean feet? Mine's 6 x 10 ft and would be full already with what you listed above. However, I only have the one!

[krazy_krok]

sorry yes i meant feet, confusing myself building my lottie one in metric, only have a few seeds of each so max of 2 plants per crop

I'd put the money towards an automatic vent opener and/or an automatic watering system unless you plan to be in there everyday through the summer. It will only take one scorcher to damage your crops.

Always grow strawberries in my greenhouse and get a great crop. The fact that they are undercover keeps them from rotting if the weather is very wet. It also keeps the birds off and you can see if any slugs are attacking them much easier than if they were out in the open ground.
Have to say, you are growing an awful lot of toms but good luck with them.

What about some basil - great with the toms and keeps the whitefly away.

What about melons?

[Tangle]

I grow a few strawberries in hanging baskets in the greenhouse, about 6 plants to a big basket. It keeps birds, dogs and slugs off them and you get them early. You save space but have to get used to bashing your head on them! You could try the little cucumbers Crystal lemon/crystal apple - lots of small round very tasty cucumbers

The only hybrid I'm growing this year is Shirley, and that's just because it did well for me in the past. It's really an indoor variety, but it did OK against my south-facing conservatory in the summer of 2006. Mostly though I'm avoiding F1s since tomato seed is easy to save...
