Hi
I have just joined and Im so excited about learning from everyone. I have also just bought a green house and looking for tips and hints on how to get the best from it. Its not up yet, I will need help with that but I am so looking forward to having my tender vegetables protected from the elements.  |

Hi
Thanks for the welcome.
My greenhouse is 6x8. Normally I have some seeds planted by now and tend them in my dining room window until May or June when I plant out. So I'm really looking forward to not having to trip over young plants in the house. |

Aaaah, kindred spirit, I'm not sure the term "lady" really applies to me....and I haven't been a "young lady" for an awfully long time now, more's the pity ! But thanks for making me feel a little more youthful.... !
I've just taken down all the Christmas decorations and hope to emerge from hibernation soon. The weeds, unfortunately, seem not to have hibernated at all...... sly little wretches........ |

congratulations on your purchase. Pick a good site for it, well sheltered but not shaded facing south. Soil needs to be well drained deep and fraible. Fertility can be built up gradually over the years. A glasshouse gives you a months earlier gardening in Spring and a months later in the Autumn.
