Hi I pick my freecycled greenhouse up today and as I am a complete novice to this. What would you recommend that I grow this first year thats easy to care for etc. Thanks

It has to be tomatoes.

Now wait for the other 50 alternatives.

Chillis

I have a newly recycled one too on my plot that I'm looking forward to using for the first time this year.

I'm aiming to grow cucumber, tomatoes, chilli's, peppers and aubergine's in mine - space permitting !

A little tip i was told was to remember to disinfect the greenhouse as you never know what disease the last owner had in there.. i even got a free bottle of jeys fluid too... Just finished spraying it around the greenhouse  mmm canna beat that jeys smell

Great smell isn't it?

Reminds me of early 60's outside public loos.

Ah - you as well!

[randombod]

i still smell of it its great and i went in the g/house and its enough to make you high

Id also grow things that need a greenhouse environment, things you couldn't grow without. Beefsteak toms, sweet peppers, aubergine, cape gooseberrys. I've also been looking at pepino seeds this afternoon ... that sort of thing.

Wish someone would give me a greenhouse    but then I also wish someone would build me a few more terraces and flatten off some more ground oh and lay a base.

Great smell isn't it?

Yep - but so is proper creosote .... mmmmm

Sorry for not posting in right section ( newbie)
Well the greenhouse dismantle proved to be more difficult than I thought, hence all afternoon outside getting wet through ( it was, as my Mum used to say, the rain that wets you lol) the job was abandoned... light stopped play.
Luckily the lady is very understanding and allowing me to go back tomorrow to try again.
Got all the glass out no problem but I thought they had nuts and bolts??? wrong square nuts and the bolts with 2 flat sides and the other 2 rounded.

Is there a tool to get these off?
I realise this isnt in the right section either but I am just following on from the original post.
Thanks

Jeyes fluid on the other hand....YUK!
