Title: Greenhouse Tips
Post by: cripery on April 21, 2009, 20:51:45
Hi There,

Does anyone have any tips for me, I only have a mini plastic greenhouse and I have a very warm south facing high sided garden.

I left my chilli and pepper seeds in my greenhouse today and when I came home they were very shrivelled and wilted, I meant to leave the door open and forgot.

Should I open the door every morning to let some air in. They have been planted 6 weeks and all have 6 - 8 leaves, I am really upset I hope they survive.
:(

Stand them in water to get the leaves back.... then as you say leave it open on sunny days. Standing the pots in a shallow water tray can help but they don't want wet feet all the time...
