Everything seems to love this warm moist weather, though it’s hard to keep it all watered at time. There’s a bit of me that wants to install micro-irrigation, but I actually love the connection I make with the plants in the morning and evening when I check on the greenhouse.

It’s like greeting a friend, popping in to water early in the morning, the trouble starts when I have to go away.

At the moment the greenhouse inventory includes;
Runner beans
Cucumbers
Sweet peppers
Chilli peppers
Loads of Tomatoes
Butternut squash
Sweet potatoes
Pak Choi
Tatsoi
Spring onions
Red mustard
Frilly mustard
Rocket
Basil
Coriander
All manner of salad leaves.
Broad beans.
Melianthus major
Sunflowers
Species pelargoniums
Sarracenia
Aubergines
Verbena cuttings
Cleome
Cosmos
Teuchrium cuttings

Whereas the cold frame is full of;
Verbena Bonariensis plants grown from seed.
Ever lasting sweet peas.
Sedum matrona cuttings
Lavender cuttings
Sage cuttings
Penstemon cuttings
Rose cuttings
Diascia cuttings
Cerinthe from seed

. . . . . and a whole lot more !
