Fruit bushes or my cabbages?
« on: February 12, 2008, 00:59 »
Hi All

On my Allotment I have a greenhouse frame, which I have coved in green netting even on the door, and it has worked very well.  (No glass )

I was going to use it for my fruit bushes, blackcurrant, Raspberry and Redcurrant.

Now I am wondering if I am doing the right thing.

Would I be better to use it for my brassicas?

The size 8x6 and I have put 2 mall slabs in side to stand on.

I just wondered what you more experience gardeners would do?

Fruit bushes or cabbages?

Thank you

If it was me, I would be tempted to plant the fruit bushes - you have good headspace for yourself so picking the fruits will be easier.  Also, fruit bushes are a more established crop that you don't move from year to year so I think another reason for the "greenhouse" (netting the frame sounds like a really great idea actually).  With brassicas, you will then be thinking of crop rotations next so what would you plant next year?
Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.
Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.

Thank you both.

You are right about having to move the crop on. So on that note i will put the fruit bushes in there as you say i have room and i only a small lady so will be able to reach well ( i hope).

Thank you for taking the time to reply.
