      Two_Sheds, you may or may not be aware, or for that matter even care lol but there are other ways of posting flickr albums online for others to browse.

      Here's one of my favourites:
      Fluidr / 2_Sheds's photos and videos

      For me it helps focus the eyes on the pictures more

      As for my greenhouse Craig. I'm just using it as a holding area for all my indoor germinated seeds until the weather warms up a bit more.

        I have started leeks, onions and salad crops from seeds in my homemade unheated greenhouse and they are germinating well.

          I have planted out some early potatoes, peas, mange tout and broad beans in my polytunnel borders and have some spring cabbage and over wintered experimental calabrese from last year still insitu. In the greenhouse (also unheated), I have some cabbage and cauliflower seedlings, more peas, shallots, onions, herbs and a few flowering things, all in pots.

          Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

          Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

            I've a very short "row" (width of a narrow bed) of early peas - sowed in roottrainers in heated prop, then a week climatising in the unheated greenhouse before going in the bed.
            Winter lettuce, spinach, endive, all in modules
            Munchen Bier radish, turnips, other leaves in buckets
            2 lots of potatoes in bags (no sign yet)

            plus lots leaves, cabbage etc from last year - sorry, that needed earlier planting!

                  Re: what to plant in unheated greenhouse/tunnel cover

                  Hello to all my new friends abroad. This is my very first posting. I live in the state of Nevada in the United States at 6500 ft elevation. I've planted onions, garlic, carrots, radish, lettuce mixes, broccoli and cauliflower in both unheated greenhouses and tunnel covers. It still gets quite cold here at night (freezing), but so far, all are germinating and progressing well.

                      Welcome Glory.

                      Not alone Chris, think I might go grab some blood fish and bone at least and liberally apply that in the next few weeks for planting season and then work out where in gods name to stick the Squash's/pumpkins I am intending to grow..

                            It's always worth reading the dates on the posts, not just the contents.
