hi all

i have just put up an 8ftx6ft green house  

i looking for some ideas of what to grow in there
i do the normal things like tomatos /cucumber/pepers

any one got any ideas of what else i can grow some thing diffrent :?:

I grew some decent aubergines this year.

you could get some cauli and cabbage going from seed now. There are Dec and Jan sowed cauli varieties and I've recently sown AYR cauli and Hispi cabbages, all of which have germinated in the cold greenhouse

Melons?

By the time you have a few toms, cues, aubergines, peppers and chillis you wont have room for anything else. My 1 is same size and is packed to the roof.........

Oh all underplanted with basil and marigolds to deter the whitefly :evil:

i would agree with mumofstig that it is easy to get overcrowded. I would  not diversify too much and stick with staggered  planting of toms, a few peppers and then just leave space for starting all your seedlings off. If you are careful with your toms you can get them from early july to mid - december.

thanks for ideas so far

sorry should of said

 i was thinking of putting in

1 cucumber plant
2 toms plants (cherry toms) in as we dont eat a lot of toms and my dad grows enough to feed his street
and 1 peper plant just to have a go so will have the other side of greenhouse to grow in

do like the cabbage idea will have a go at that

Would you have to heat the greenhouse to get a crop until December ?
