  • Is it time to close the doors?

    It's getting flipping cold these nights, I have started closing the greenhouse doors, is anyone else doing the same? Ground frosts are being mentioned.....

          Greenhouse temp was 7.5c last night so I'm glad I'd got the door closed.

                  Yes, we close the doors at night all year round, unless it's exceptionally hot (trying to remember when the last time that happened was). The last couple of weeks they've been closed during the day sometimes too

                      Greenhouse door is shut every night but have gone half and half in the polytunnel at the lottie ie am keeping one door shut and one open at the moment but that could all change if it gets any colder.

                      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?

                        Nothing?

                          I'm clearing mine out so the final toms can get more air and sowing onion sets, broad beans, peas, winter salads in it ready to go out in October....and trying to get rid of all the spiders and bugs......before winter sets in

                          Doors not closed yet.....

                            Mine's still full too:
                            tomatoes & cucumbers still coming, but slower
                            chillies ripening, slowly
                            trays & trays of wallflowers and foxgloves for me and the school garden
                            black kale seedlings that are STILL only 4" tall (come on you guys)
                            houseplants
                            overwintering cuttings: fuchsia, pelargonium, osteos, herbs
                            stuff drying from the rafters: garlic, onions, herbs, beans

                              I've got tomatoes, chilies, sweet peppers, 2 cucs and a couple of trays of winter lettuce seedlings that will go in the border once the toms have finished.
