Greenhouse

I'm getting a new greenhouse this year
We both decided that my one is too small, it is choc-a-bloc with plants being over-wintered and I can't get in the door to water!
Decisions, decisions ... which one? I'm looking at an 8 x 10

Got to wait for his shed to be cleared, with new benches and shelves, and his tools set out properly and clear the old greenhouse of some tools too

Re: Greenhouse

Id get rid of a few plants, save a bit that would . If you get another green house ,how long before that one is full ?

Re: Greenhouse

Is that a serious comment? or a tongue in cheek one?

Re: Greenhouse

Thats a serious one , we only had one shed that got full up , so another shed was bought now that one is full , we could fill a dozen sheds up and no doubt you could fill a dozen green houses,i love plants too, but when i compared the cost of a green house with the cost of replacing the plants it came in cheaper to buy the plants each year, .

Re: Greenhouse

Where's the fun in buying new plants each year?
I have a white geranium that I grew from seed about 10 years ago, I have taken lots of cuttings that I give away - and when the threat of frost is over, out it comes in a big pot full of beautiful flowers already.
Besides, I couldn't afford to fill a garden of my size with big mature plants each year.

Re: Greenhouse

I may be odd, but I never throw away plants! I always find a corner for new ones, bit of a plantaholic! I've been trying to find a small greenhouse for my "new" garden but, they're so expensive and those plastic things are rubbish. I would be exactly the same though, filling it and needing more space especially in the spring with all the lovely seeds about! Last year I put seed trays on the "patio" and they didn't do too badly but you can't beat a greenhouse, good luck I hope you find a good one.

Re: Greenhouse

Thank you Twiz, I'm quite excited
I hate to throw away plants too and just like you I always manage to find a corner for 'another' one.
The bl**dy squirrels dig up my seedlings if I leave them out

Good luck in your search ..

Re: Greenhouse

That sounds exciting Janela I don't have room for one in my tiny garden..

Re: Greenhouse

I'd love a greenhouse, but my present garden is too small.
I'm a bit like you with plants Janela. When I was still working (care home), an old lady I was fond of died and when her family cleared her room out, nobody bothered with her pretty pink geranium, so I started looking after it, eventually taking it home. I have no idea of the name, but I have always called it "Phylis's Pink" after the lady herself.
I have kept it going for 8 or more years now, from cuttings, and its a picture every summer.

Re: Greenhouse

That's a lovely story Mups
We are lucky in the size of garden we have and we spend hours in it, mainly summertime. (the old bones don't like the cold anymore )
The greenhouse enables me to spend all the rainy days in the garden too .. and this new one will cope with two people
