i have now put the mini plastic greenhouse in the greenhouse and tucked them up in there

I had four that I put in the greenhouse and three of them chuffed it, I think the last one is going to chuff it too. They are very sensitive to cold, although saying that we have not had freezing temperatures and they are the only thing to have been killed off.

It's way too early to put cues in a greenhouse unless you have a goodly amount of heat.  We're only just out of winter & the night time temps are still very low.

I'm just thinking about sowing mine and I can turn up the wick in the greenhouse if so desired.

My cucumbers are in 3 inch pots and in a small greenhouse in my kitchen.  Admittedly, they are alittle leggy.  But the temp goes down into around 18 degrees at night in there and they are forming their first real adult leaves.  I have tomatoes and chilli peppers in with them and they are doing fine.  The chilli peppers are just through the soil but the tomatoes are forming their first adult leaves now and NOT leggy.  I'm not sure what the name is of my cukes but they are very nobby and used to make pickles.

the cucks are well on their way to growing 2nd leaves!shall i stick with it or get some back up seeds?
They are now in the mini greenhouse inside the greenhouse but are at least 3in tall
Should they be repotted deeper like toms or would that kill the stem?
definatly learned a lesson here for next year i know that

Theres always one isn't there! I sowed my cues a couple of weeks ago in an heated propagator, then when germinated I popped them out  in the greenhous that is heated at night with a small frost free heater. Touch wood they are all doing well now producing their second leaves! I only lost one plant. You watch now, they'll all go and die on me!!

i feel like im sitting on a knife edge with these plants,im too early but they are our babies and we are trying to make good from a big mistake.Lets face it i could go and get more seeds today but i feel comited to these little premature fighters.
Have to wait and see and if disaster strikes start again,but then im not sure even if they do survive if the stems will be too long and weak

Certainly the outdoor sorts go down to stem-rots very easily - I normally plant them on top of a little heap of compost to try and keep the crown dry-ish.

[savbo]

oops - better bring my 6 wee seedlings back from the lotty greenhouse before tonight!

Though as they're all in the same pot they'll probably die when I transplant them anyway...

Just been out to greenhouse,another burpless gone over,down to 2 of those now.See its just too early like DD said.
Im going for a burial in the compost bin now! and this is before the forecasted cold snap at the weekend,

[doubledug]

last year i built a timber frame lean2 greenhouse Solid wood up to 900mm then i was going to single glaze when i got the price for the glass it was cheaper to buy doubleglazed panels. so with that and a polycarb roof i can start early without fear of frost. I put a solar powered fan in the roof which keeps it nice and cool in the summer.

What a good idea, I thought that my wife might be a bit upset if I nailed the greenhouse to the kitchen floor but I guess that it is worth a try!

Action taken..........heater now in mini greenhouse in big greenhouse bringing temp up to tropical temps.How much is a packet of seeds verses my leccy bill?

[sclarke624]

I've got my burpless in my conservatory and they are doing great.  They are 8 inches tall now.  Already repotted once.  Did this last year as well and they were fine.
