to heat or not?
« on: February 22, 2009, 18:50:38 »
I have a small greenhouse made of polycarbonate i have planted pea and sweet pea seeds now.
Should i heat the greenhouse?

If i did would i be able to sow other seeds??
 I have started tomatoes and chillis inside in pots covered with sandwich bags on top of my boiler!! which i would like to move into the greenhouse to grow on and pot up.

Welcome to the site Tizzy, although I thought I said hello before the weekend..
The Peas and Sweet Peas don't need any extra heat so will be fine, I'd not bother... and don't anymore, I used to but now I wait until mid-March...  :-\

i agree if you were growing seed from january onwards then would say yes most things can be grown from a cold greenhouse from meid march if you get the odd cold night put a candle in there
