sharing the greenhouse

EVIE · « **on:** May 28, 2008, 19:56 »

an allotment friend, with very little knowledge, but thinks he knows everything told us that we could not put our greenhouse cucumbers in the same greenhouse as our greenhouse tomatoes,

Is this true, can anyone shed a little light on this subject

evie and vitoria plum

Unless for lack of space I can't really think of a reason right now.

Never heard that tripe before, have always grown mine together without any problems. He's probably having you on

I have heard this b4 but have never had any probs growing them together myself. I think it was something to do with them liking different conditions or humidity :?

Chappers is right it's I believe to do with the humidity etc, But in the real world I grow mine side by side ever year

They both also grow outside in the jolly same humidity.

That's right, but if you do it "proper" like the Victorians used to

They had full time gardeners, Rich. It's a possible undertaking for the fit pensioner types nowadays.
