Hallo everyone I am new here and  am not sure if this is the right forum.  I have a small greenhouse on my balcony facing west.  I got it to overwinter some plants and to grow tomatoes next year.   Is there anything else  i can use it for in the meanwhile?   I am housbound for the next year or so and need a hobby
cheers

Welcome to the site BrixtonBoy  :D

I'm assuming that's your location?  :)

Will move this over to the Growing in Greenhouses board for you, feel free to pop back into the Welcome forum to introduce yourself if you'd like to

I reckon you could grow oriental greens in your greenhouse or herbs if the temp inside is mild and it is sheltered.  Try pak choi or spinach they are easy and nourishing.

Also try some flowers for the house/flat in the summer sounds like you've got some sun there. Marigolds are cheap quick and easy and if you prick them out then they will grow and produce a great display like geraniums which you could use to decorate the balcony.

If the balcony does not get much frost then you're away.
