Title: greenhouse growing.
Post by: samuria on October 03, 2020, 12:07

we have a new greenhouse. it's one with the poly panels.
its 8 x8 built on used railway sleepers so solid floor. this was done because of the slope and area its on. gets sun all day (when it's not raining) what can we sow now? or any link to ideas, we have lots off large tubs to use  that came from the mustard factory.
thanks folks

John has a series of monthly greenhouse/polytunnel posts here https://www.allotment-garden.org/polytunnel-growing/growing-polytunnel-january/

This month you are limited to sowing hardy salads - winter lettuce, lambs lettuce, and rocket plus oriental/stirfry greens like spinach, pakchoi, mustard and mizuna. Chard is also worth a try if you like it, it just depends on how quickly it gets very cold..
