Indeed, but in my experience they don't do much in the way of growing.

Had good success with Winter Gem and Arctic King lettuce last winter in grow bags in cold greenhouse but you need to sow little and often to keep a succession (I usually forget this bit). An electric propagator to start off the germination helps speed things up but can also kill the seedlings off if you get them  too hot or keep the heat going too long.

you don't need heat to start off winter lettuces etc. The greenhouse can get quite warm even in winter if the sun comes out

Here's my tray of mixed oriental leaves that I got from the cold greenhouse today for tonight's stir fry

I'll sow another tray full tomorrow, and I'm going to try coriander. I've got my basils going beautifully but they'll have to go up to the house as it will soon be too cold for those.  The corn salad looks ace as well

Looks good compostqueen. I just started spinach in the cold greenhouse and I'm starting a raised bed for salad this week.

I know we are all talking about a cold greenhouse but would I be able to grow salad in a heated greenhouse just as easy......

[compostqueen]

We're talking winter salads that are designed to withstand cold. They'll get hot and bothered and probably limp in the heat

and cost a fortune to grow

I had some lovely sarnis today made with leaves out my cold greenhouse.  Mixed orientals and some Misticanza with toms and a cucumber that I found (which I fear is the last of them, sob).  Oh and some corn salad too
