I don't know as I haven't got a greenhouse, you have three.  You are so lucky, I would like one but haven't got room in my back garden/yard.  Someone here will know.  Enjoy.

Hi, I'm growing....

Sweetpeas, peas, cauliflower (all the year round is a good variety) cabbages, lettuce (winter density)

My greenhouse is 6x6 and unheated, by January I put some bubble wrap up, and place the plants on polystireen (cant spell that!) on the benches.

I have a parafin heater, but thats only used in April once the Toms and tender plants are in there, and only if a really cold night is forcast.

sure others will have more ideas... THREE greenhouses hey!!!  :o

It's lettuce (cut and come again type) and spring onions for me too.  I also over-winter young strawberry plants in my greenhouse for an earlier crop next year.

thankyou for your suggestsions i will try the sweet peas, lettuce and cauliflower. it sounds like i have a lot of greenhouses, but i  work for Groundworks charity and set up and fund community allotments as part of my project. its the first 6 months of the project that will run for three years so prob have a lot more greenhouses and school/ community allotments by next year. trying to get a good progame set up with rotations and so on. but we finished building the allotments and now its coming into winter, so everything has slowed down for now. cheers everyone anyway, great help ;D
