Can we say spring has begun ?

**Flummery** · 14-02-2009, 03:03 PM

My greenhouse temperature is high in the day - but it's well donw in the minuses at night. That's the problem - minumum temperatures and light levels. I'm still keeping most of my seeds in the packets!

Same as Auntie Flum. But the anticipation is killing me

So I'm going to play with the mud tomorrow to keep me away from the seed packets. Hoping to plant my cossetted apple tree.

Bit early for spring up ere.....greenhouse is still cold. I have kept my seedlings at home.....sun was out the other day and I was cleaning and defumigating both greenhouses, nice sparkly windows...

Chilli seeds in the airing cupboard and leek seeds in the greenhouse, but the snow this week is only just melting!

Yes, I think spring is on the way. It was 8 degrees on my outside windowsill today - warm enough to put my spring onions and leeks out there.
Another week and my (heated) conservatory will be finished. Can't wait.

Heating is off, that is just the temperature created by the sun shining,,,,,,,,,I can not believe I said those words,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Sun Shining.......

How hot is your greenhouse today ?

i'm confused, is that celsius or farenheight?? cos 89 sounds very hot for february ???

31.7 degree Celsius = 89.06 degree Fahrenheit

31.7 degree Fahrenheit = -0.1666667 degree Celsius

it's only 12 degrees C in my house and it only gets to 18 in the hallway with the central heating on

..... can i move into your greenhouse please??

And back on topic... my windowsill thermometer (east facing) got up to 12 C today. Must cram a few more pots on there!

Dunno about my greenhouse, but noticed today that my bulbs in the front garden are starting to push their way out.

**lainey lou** · 15-02-2009, 05:06 AM

I have just bought a min/max thermometer for my NEW greenhouse (!!!), my husband thinks I'm bonkers, I'm in and out checking the temperature ALL the time! Like Flums, the night time temps are still in the minuses, so however tempting it is, seeds are staying in packets for now.
