Allotments 4 All

In the greenhouse

ace that purple flower in the 2nd pic is that passiflora?

vinca minor, In there so I can get some cuttings.

They all look very well on for the time of year

This is the Isle of Wight, aka The Garden Isle. Remember spring started 2 weeks ago down here, so some of them are a bit late.

What hard work and good organisation - pleased to see that in spite of the tough times you've had recently, Ace, that the plants haven't suffered. The photos everywhere are lovely.   

I can only wish..........!

The spider hasn't caught that fly yet then!! ;D ;D ;D

Trying hard!!!   ;D ;D

 ;D ;D ;D

Ace everything looks great, love the greenhouse.

ditto- what a wonderful greenhouse.

all right for some I have to make do with a window propagator no space for a green house :(

Ooooooh, that greenhouse is ace, ACE ;D

Impressive!!

Looks like you have still quite a bit of pricking out to do  ;)

I have a few bits on the go but certainly not as much as you have.

Last week was the start of my serious growing I sowed a few things on Tuesday which fits in with my growing season, I would guess that I am at least a month after you.

Noticed this morning that three varieties of Tomato, the petunias & marigolds have germinated, they germinated in four days.

Give me another month and my greenhouse will be as full as yours, in fact I was down on the allotment preparing my unheated greenhouses to take the plants that I have planned to grow this year.

Don't matter what you have got you never have enough room. I had to eject this lot to make room to work.

They are mostly grown to use in shows but for every 8 taken to a show only 1 will be good enough to use. The rest get sold to my clients who can tell visitors to their gardens that 'that plant has been on the telly'. Sometimes we grow for a client and then 'borrow' them for a show.

Now that greenhouse, It ain't mine, It is on permanent loan from a 'lady who lunches' and would not dream of getting dirt under her nails. She just uses it to show off to her friends and family about her 'little treasure' of a gardener. Must cost her a fortune in leccy with heatmats all round, fans, auto misting automatic venting etc. It must measure 18'X10'

I still work from a cold poly tunnel on the proper nursery, but that is usually full of thousands of foxgloves which do not need a lot of looking after.

Ace, could you tell me a bit about the heating mats and misting system please.  I don't often "lunch" and haven't done my nails for ages honest ;D,  but I am considering a propagating system.  Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
