Hi,
I've just erected my second hand greenhouse and i am very proud of the completed job but i don't know what to grow in there now if at all anything. Any suggestions...
thanks

In a few weeks I'll be starting Red Baron onion seeds in trays, to be hardened off and put out in April. I sowed a trough of mini-carrots yesterday. I have a plastic greenhouse so I don't know how that compares insulation-wise with glass ones, but even in last week's cold spell it was cosy and noticeably warmer in than out.

I'd like to know how much stuff you can reasonably fit in a greenhouse. I have just got a 6x4 greenhouse for free (w00t freecycle!) - i'd like to put some tomatoes in it, and maybe some cucumbers/chillis/aubergines if space permits. How many plants will i be able to get in?

My greenhouse is 6 X 4; I'm planning two growbags down one long side (2 tall tomatoes, 2 peppers), a 3-tier unit at the narrow end, and further 2-level shelving for seed trays and/or pots on the other long side.
