Hi,
We've recently been given a 10'x6' glass greenhouse, and after some troubled times putting it up we've now got several things growing well. However, we'd like some advice on what to leave inside, what to put outside, and what to feed to the plants.
a, Our tomatoes (planted in grow bags) have really taken off and started flowering (we've some tall types and some low bushy types - sorry, not very technical, I know!). I believe now is a good time to start feeding them, but should we leave them inside or place them outside?
b, On the question of feeding, is tomato feed just for tomatoes, or can it be used generally? Should we use something like Miracle Gro (we found some in the shed) on everything else, or can we use it on the toms as well?
c, Courgette cucumber plants are doing well, but again do we leave in or plant out? Do these grow up (and need staking) or grow along the floor?
d, I've treated myself to a Chilli plant, how do I look after it? Do I need to pick off the side shoots like a tomato plant?
Loads of questions, but I thought it would be better in one post rather than several! If it makes any difference, we live in N Devon and our local soil is pretty heavy with clay.
Thanks everyone, TT
