What size pots do you use?I'm considering doing the same as you this year. My biggest concern at present is the overall cost of the project. My local focus store is selling 300 litres of general purpose compost for £10 which is very good, but the other cost I need to take into consideration is the cost of the buckets/containers.How much did your containers cost?CC
Jerry (or anyone)If I plant then in pots and cover them with fleece will they be ok outside in a few weeks (once we've emerged from Siberia?) No greenhouse here.
Why does everyone most people insist on paying for pots but £2.25 or any price is not "steal" when, as Viv says, they are free from florists!!!
Yup, my pineapple is in my conservatory, suppose it shouldn't be in the greenhouse thread, but I do treat my conservatory as a greenhouse of sorts as it is packed with plants, cuttings, seeds and seedlings! ;D I couldn't tell you the temperature, but it certainly isn't constant. The conservatory has central heating and runs on the same program as the house. Whatever the weather, 11pm at night the heating goes off and it doesn't come on again until 6am. Some mornings it is very chilly in there, but I have never known it be frosty. In the summer it bakes hot as hot can be as it is south facing and only receives shade from about 4pm from the neighbours house which is set at an angle from ours. I am glad you all liked the pics. It was thrilling to successfully grow the pineapple and I am hoping for a repeat performance this year. Just wish I could get my bananas to set fruit!
