Carly, now that you've posted them here, could you delete #37 with the photos with the ads please. Just in case an unsuspecting innnocent comes along and views them!

What are you growing

Hi Carly,
On the right are Toms and a Courgette.
Next, in the heated propagator are chilliest, globe artichoke, and ,more toms.
Then there are Kale, lettuce and cabbage seedlings.
In the pots are Strawberries salvaged from the allotment. Followed by Thyme and Leeks.
At the end of the staging is a tray of Beetroot and a tray of Radish.
On the shelf above are Calendula and Brussels Sprouts.
The plugs in the potting up station have a second variety of Cabbage. Then there are Sunflowers, Parsley and a couple of Skimmia Rubella.
On the floor to the left you can see a couple of Cauliflower in an Autopot system. What is not shown are a couple of pots of Leeks and Onions.
On the right under the staging are some overwintering house plants. The new home doesn�t have the room for them.

Since the photo was taken I�ve added a tray each of African Marigolds and Forget-Me-Not.

I too use the B&Q compost and quite like it - and that looks like the water barrel for an auto-pot system over on the left hand side. I find them great.

But I'm more interested in that electricial set up on the right hand side - midway along the staging. Is that a heat/light lamp?

What�s an autopot? The cauliflowers look st about the same stage as the ones I have in polytunnel. I have never successfully grown these and am wondering if you will be moving them outside or when you think they will produce proper cauli heads. I�ve been told the polytunnel will be too warm for them. Photo of cauli today....

It's an automatic watering system. A bit pricey but is very effective as you can mix in whatever nutrients you want and it's automatically fed to the plants continuously. Last year the yield and size of the chilies I had growing in that system were more than twice that just growing in normal pots.

Oh, the lights.
Thought I would try a little experiment. They�re a couple of 30w LED floodlights. Colour temperature 6000-6500K. Intention was to see if they could prevent Tom and Chilli seedlings from becoming too leggy, while in the nice warm environment of the heated propagator.
Here�s a link.

Not a lot of heat from the lights. For that I�m using an Inkbird 308 to control a fan heater. The Inkbird under the shelf, a little further on from the lights.

Yep, looks about the same. Wanted to see if they over wintered better in greenhouse compared to outside. Also, hopefully get a couple of earlies. Unfortunately the cauliflower down the allotment all got eaten .
First time trying cauliflower in the greenhouse. Was successful growing under cover, first in a polytunnel and then in a Grardman �blow away� cold frame thing. But this was when I lived in the very far north of Scotland ie Thurso.

Well - it was my intention to plant tomatoes along the central bed but there doesn't seem to be much space left...



Those are pretty much all flowers that my daughter is hoping to sell. Strangely I seemed to do most of the work so far.

Your polytunnel is incredibly tidy.
What an enterprising young lady your daughter is!
Is it a school project?
