    Multiple GH organisation!

    Hello Everyone. I have a confession to make..........I am a serial GH collector. I can't resist them, just can't say NO to a free or cheap GH.
    I need your help please. Imagine that you have 5 GHs how would you use them to the best?
    The latest one is 6x4 and I'm going to use that for seedlings which leaves the other 4 for growing (although I may keep the shadiest one as a potting shed?).

    I've been growing tomatoes and cukes, melons and salads jumbled together in each of the GHs. Would it be better to devote a GH solely to toms, another to cukes and melons etc.

    I never had these problems when I had one GH

    The only thing apart from good luck is,do not have more than 1 variety of cue in any 1 house,on account of crossing,making some bitter,an expert will be along shortly

      Ah!.............A post germination chamber, I've always fancied one of those...................in these parts it's commonly known as a cold frame...........

        The cold frame is alongside the "post germination chamber" - we call it the post post germination chamber

          I'd devote one to grapes, apricots, and peaches - fruit heaven!

            Not an expert in the slightest!

            But would love to have that many "Out Houses" at my disposal, would definatley consign one to toms only, with one variety of cuc intermingled

            One for chilli's, egg plants, sweet peppers and an other variety of cuc again inter mingled

            One purley as a grow house for seedlings veg wise

            And the other just for flowers, cactus, suculants and a few strange and exotics

            As I have openly admitted before, I became involved in "Forums" originating from GW, but when the fall outs started I was invited by PM to join a little break away group who set up there own forum and at the time was running the length n breath of the country carrying out training seminars

            One of the members always opened her garden every year for the NGS, and as I was half way down the country at the time decided to attend, as did a fair few others, so actually got to meet and picnic with a good few of them, running on a tangent here

            But she did exactly the same thing! Tell ya what VC! I was in ore! It just all looked spectacular and just did it for me entirely!

              There's a peach in 2 of the GHs already. Been pollinating this one today with my little paintbrush


              I took the grapevine out of one GH as it made it too shady but there's another one in the 24' netted cage made from 3 GH frames from last year's B&Q offer. They don't count as part of my GH collection

                  That would be in dreamland,I'd start off by doing a backflip & pinching myself! I like the seed house idea,if you're going to have one greenhouse for toms,one for cucumbers that might make it easier for pests,especially those tomato caterpillar moths & whitefly?

                    I have 4 greenhouses as my husband can't say "no" to anything free or cheap. 2 of them have got grapevines and I usually grow peppers and chillis beneath them as they don't seem to mind a bit of shade as long as they are warm. One of the others is devoted to tomatoes and the other gets everything else, usually cucumbers, aubergines melons etc.

                      Back in my younger days it seemed the allotment holders who produced the best fruit had separate GH's for cuc's and toms.

                        At the back of my mind, there's something that says that toms and cues shouldn't be grown together because they require different conditions.

                          Lucky you, i really had to sit on my hands when i could have had that really cheap one the other day and if it was down to me and not putting anyone else out, i would have it. It was going to be the same 6x4 and i was going to have it just for seedlings, i wonder if its still available

                          I would def have one for tomatoes, and another for peppers and chilli´s, experiment and move things around.
                          I grow 70% for us and 30% for the snails, then the neighbours eats them

                            What an amazing problem to have! I would love just one!

                            What about one as a potting / pottering house? Somewhere to sit with seedlings / a cuppa / the latest GYO and survey your greenhouse kingdom! You could maybe put some smaller plants (veg / flowers) to keep you (and the dogs) company

                              If it helps to simplify things I could take one off your hands...

                              It's no trouble...
