What have you done in the greenhouse/polytunnel today?

Post by Compostwoman on 25th February 2010, 1:44 pm

Greenhouse here means any undercover growing method , so windowsills, propagators, cloches etc etc ..

Same principle as the threads in other bits of the Permaculture garden...just tell us what you have been up to recently with seeds and plants under cover of.. well.... covers

I've re-potted some small tomato plants.

I've also put in a few cuttings of carnations that I took off some stems that my DW got the other week.

I've realised that I need to ask Mr D to remove his patent icicle protector from the porch roof (i.e. the piece of wood which is wedged onto the polycarbonate to stop the two foot long icicles crashing through it in January). It's cutting out the light which my (potential) seedlings need! :sunny:

Grr I wrote a long list , and then lost it.

I have done lots in there today. And will do more of the same tomorrow.

Mostly involving sowing seeds and getting them into the heated propogators in the porch.

Or sowing them into the tubes I filled up today ( now have 105 of them , waiting.)

Nuff said.
