Allotments 4 All

I have never used a greenhouse for my autumn sown sweet peas I think they want growing as hard as you can during the winter. If the weather gets very severe I protect with a but of fleece or some other way for a short time..

Laurie, do you put your sweetpea seedlings in your greenhouse or outside.?
TeeGee yes you have my sympathy about the slugs. I now leave the light on and they don't come in. Weird.

I read the advice here and took all the sweet peas that had just germinated out of my greenhouse and put them on a table outside.

Checked on them today - and squirrels have massacred the lot.  Pots turned upside down, all the peas chomped and the little green growth lying in the compost. 

I'm doing mine IN the greenhouse from now on!

Hi Squeezyjhon, Very sorry to hear of your problem, mine are all outside at the moment as I have no greenhouse but are standing on top of a frame in case of serve weather. I had more trouble inside when I had a greenhouse than outside. but then mice will get anywhere. I guess this also answers Worldor query as mine are outside but within  protection area.
