Hello
I put up two more at the weekend as well, making 3 now. I have my onion sets in pots in there at the moment. Once my spring onions have germinated they will be going in there too. I also have chard and spinach which I only put in there cos of the bad weather we're having. During the summer I take all the shelves out and the middle poles and stand tomatoes in pots in them and let them grow on in there.

^^^^ this is my plan for the tom's and chiilis!!!

[Eyren]

I did have my onions (from seed), carrots and broad beans in there, hardening off after being germinated in my conservatory - but after last night's winds it's empty! The trays of seedlings are back in the conservatory, hopefully none the worse for their adventure, and I think I'll put them out there again this morning, since the weather forecast is rather calmer today. By the time the really windy weather returns at the weekend, they should be OK to be put outdoors full-time.

I have marigolds, strawberrys, sweet peas, and leeks in modules starting off in mine.

Theres not a windowsill left in my house though.

I have leeks, spring onions and broad beans germinating in my unhgeated greenhouse. Plus a fig, cactus and two Acer bonsai trees. Oh and lots of empty shelves.

ETS: oops mine isn't a mini greenhouse sorry (but it could be bigger!)

I have strawberries, spring onions, peas, rocket, salad leaves, sweet peas, tagetes and cos lettuce in the growhouse. Not all germinated yet though. Like Eyren, I had to rescue everything and bring it into the utility room overnight to avoid disaster with the high winds yesterday! Everything seems OK though!

In mine I have:

- An Apache chilli plant which I'm attempting to over - winter but it's not looking very hopeful

- The fucshias I had in a hanging backet last year, again, the over-wintering isn't looking great so far

- Ten broad bean plants I sowed in November, they're a good 4-5 inches tall now and looking great

- Another dozen broad beans I planted at the weekend buoyed by the success of the first batch

- Two large pots of pea plants I bought last November (I think). One lot are looking great but I think a slug has got to the ones on the bottom shelf as they're in a very sorry state.

My 'proper' greenhouse was delivered yesterday so I'm looking forward to that going up so I can increase my 'stocks' and start hardening off the stuff I have clogging up my windowsills

I really need to put mine together and nail it to the wall so i can move the spring onions into it so ive got room to start the toms and beans without the mrs complaining im taking over the place with seed trays

[maytreefrannie]

I've just got some chard in there which has been there all winter and still not looking ready to pick, also some parsley I started off there.

Must get organised to start using it.

I have Rocket, mizuna and mixed leaves already up, that I started in GH. Leeks and spring onions that were started indoors and peas that are doing absolutely nothing

[MrsC]

Please don't ask lol, my greenhouse is looking rather full, have stuff on the patio, on every windowsill and on my stepdaughter's bed (norty me)

[jackie j]

In my mini plastic greenhouse I have beetroot and, toms and sweetpeas. Under the lean to I have dahlias, two varieties of cabbage and spring onion. On the ground in pots I have strawberries and everlasting wallflowers. In the spare bedroom I have more toms, peppers, marigolds, lobelia, mint, sage, some daisy flowers ( forgot the name ) yellow sunflowers saved from mine last year, red sunflowers. I am sure there is more but cant rememebr what. Still have loads of stuff to sow.

at the moment, i just have growbags in mine, and i'm ever thankfull i put them in there, cos if not, the whole thing would have blown away last night. popped up to check this arvo and all the pegs were out of the ground....twas only the growbags that stopped it from actually going anwhere!.
think its a bit early to put anything in mine, because i dont think it affords much frost protection...so am going to wait a bit longer before taking things up to the lottie and putting them in it.
