is it getting too late?
« on: May 05, 2009, 07:56:56 »
This is the state of 3 of my greenhouses at th moment,

as you can see there empty.


im worried that its getting too late this year to fill them.

ive got some more toms, cucs,on there way ,but will

not be ready to plant out for about 3 weeks.

will this be too late in the year to get a decent crop?

the ones in the other ghs are doing quite well,

they have been in a month or so.

advice please

All of mine have still to be planted out yet!

Usually mid to end of May for me!

I've got 4 in that i got from a plant sale. Other then that they are still in 2" pots. I think it just feels like we are behind with the nice weather we had and no frosts.

Don't worry, if your greenhouses are unheated plants can still get damaged if there is a late frost. No certainty until the end of May really (or later further north).

If you have plants I would put them in bigger pots and keep them somewhere warm if you can (with as much light as possible). If you can heat the greenhouses that is great but in any case it might be worth lining one of them with bubblewrap and putting the plants in there until its a bit warmer out.
