I've transfered my tomato and chili seedlings to the greenhouse last night. Its unheated but they were starting to get a little leggy indoors. I've formed an internal enclosure of kingspan walls with a plastic double glazed lid. we're going a way for a week so i can't maintain a parafin heater. Any comments /suggestion.
(I've planted some back ups just in case!)
Don,t know the long range forcast and you have not said how long away a small plastic green house inside your G/H put plants on a fleecy blanket or polystyrene board and a fleecy blanket over it, but not sure how you are going to them watered ;D ;D ;D
I've placed the plants on capillary matting, so hopefully that will help with watering, only away for 6 days
Just been in the greenhouse, everythings starting to wilt ???
It was -1.9c in my unheated greenhouse last night
You got plenty of time to catch up joe take your holiday with no worrys,and start again when you get back . This time last year the weather was a lot milder, the waether should break for the better at the end of this month ::) ::) ::)
I also have tomato and chilli plants that I wanted to take to the greenhouse - but after the frost on Monday morning I've decided to keep my babies in my kitchen! ;D
My DH thinks I'm insane! My tumble-dryer (not in use) is now a counter FULL of little seedling pots and my windowsill is covered too! Hopefully this horrid weather will decide it's spring and start warming up.
Welcome to A4A Queeny :)
