I've bunged in a load of oriental greens and some carrots ( in my giant greenhouse). If they don't get hurricaned away, I'll let you know what happens.
The mizuna is already looking quite good.
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

are they in the ground or seed trays/pots?

They're in seed trays at the moment - I've pricked most of them out into modules. But I suppose I will have to plant them into the beds eventually. I'll have to move my spare wood out first though.

Just out of interest, how big is your greenhouse?  

I have some lettuce in pots at the moment in my greenhouse, been there for about 3 weeks.  Slow growing but getting there, a few inches big.  Also planted some spare garlic bulbs in there, straight into ground, they have started to shoot and only planted them a few weeks back too.  Mine is unheated by the way.

most seeds and plants need a minimum temp of 55-f ..14 c or there abouts to grow thye will slow down to match the temps at night or day . the less heat you lose the better .but a trick i use is to put some candles ( dont tell the vicar but the remains of the church candles are good for this / you just need to raise the temp a couple of degrees to keep a house frost off  :wink:
