Would you like a quick look in the greenhouse ?

Looking great Joanella -!! My Mum likes to grow Cucumber and tomatoes , strawberries, beans, peas and lettuce - yours is looking very nice - with warm temps expected this week - gonna be great!!!! I like them chocs ;)))

lol Paul..i put the lemon tree on for you..pleased to hear the temps going up we could do with it..:o)

yes - forgot to put about lemon tree - would like to try one this year - they're benefical for my kidney stones :)))))

Well Joanella, you might not have eaten all the chocs, but you are a "hero" growing everything so well...
adding to GoYpedia :o)

at the moment in our Aldi they have some twice the size of mine...lots of lemons on them too, they are £14 i think..but well worth it & orange trees too...dont know if you have a store near you :o)

lol.. aw thank you Tt, you are too kind..:o)

This all looks great Joanella, so much going on. Looks like a scene from much later in the year.

WOW!! How neat and lovely, maybe I should look into propagating and having a greenhouse :)))

Thanks W..& Michaella..it makes a world of difference having the g/h & having a little heat in there..at least our spare bedroom is plant free this year for the first time in a few years..go for it M..you know your worth it..:o)

You've got a lot of stuff there Joan. Do you heat the greenhouse ? Everything is coming along well with you.

Thanks & yes Hywel a little heater just to keep it frost free..prob runs about £10 per wk in electricity..

Very busy in there Joan, I`ve only just started mine this week so hope they do as well as yours, you`ve reminded me I have some coleus seeds somewhere, so must put them in as well...

thanks Sue, do you have yours in a heated g/h ? glad i reminded you..i was going to sow a few more today..but can i find the packet of seeds ? will have another look tomorrow...:o)

looking really good and healthy Joanella, love the lemon tree.. :-)

Yes Joan, the cost of paraffin was getting to be exorbitant so hubby treated me to an electric one a couple of years back, I find it a lot better, its safer, cleaner and less problem with downy mildew as it does not cause the condensation as a paraffin heater does, I`ve found I only need the frost setting so it doesn`t run away with the electric.....

Thank you S/L i have moved it into an unheated g/h now as some leaves were falling off it..:o)
Sue,i got a paraffin heater off a neighbour..thought i would stock up on paraffin in Oct & bought 3 plastic cartons £8 each...i had the heater on its lowest for one night..that was it for me..it stunk, so now i am stuck with a heater & the paraffin..the electric one i have is prob like yours i got it from B&Q about £12 ..& its great..

I love your greenhouse, such a lot going on in there , Lovely :)

omg ............ you ,made me want to get out there now lol , did a bit of planting in garden yesterday ............ but its rain an wind today , just as well i working ..........

thank you Sue..:o) Cristina,its been raining here for days now...so fed up with it...

OMG i have so got to get my act together ,i have been a bit slow this year due to unforeseen circumstances but after seeing this it as inspired me again.Everything apart from one flower is dead in my greenhouse.

Would just like to thank you for giving me the inspiration to get up and go again.:)))

Aw thats nice Mark..glad it has given you a bit of inspiration...just take your time..there is no rush, i am sure you will get there in the end..:o))

Wow, that makes me want to add some heat to my greenhouse instead of just having a heated propogator in there - but can I justify the elec bills?? Where do things go now? Do you plant them outside or under cover? Do you risk losing things and having to re=sow later?

Hi Joanella Thankyou i have made a start now but it is taking some time.Dont realise how untidy things get over the winter.I am just doing a bit at a time.But it is nice to be back doing the garden again.:))))

You have been a busy bee, Joan ... so much going on in your GH ... everything is looking very healthy ... well done! ... :o)))

Hi Nisparo, it is working out at about £12 per week..as i love being out there & dont spend much money on other things for myself..i think its worth it..i will be putting them into a cold insulated greenhouse when they are potted on..as i have never grown in heat this early i will have to see how it goes.:o)
Mark, pleased you have made a start..what with ? it is surprising how messy everywhere gets..just seem to dump things anywhere when its raining/freezing..:o)
Shirley, still busy in there..bought some alpines today & split them put them in little pots..my idea is to bury them in the gravel..will see how it looks when i get the chance to do it...:o)

I hope this isn't a local Allotment...That could be mine ;0)

lol pimp, Swinton actually..dont know how "local" that is for you..:o)

M27 puts you in the clear Jo. Looks like you enjoy it though.

would be there all day every day if it was poss..:o)

Joan ... this blog has inspired me to stop being so lazy and get on with sowing seeds of flowers and veg ... which is just what I did yesterday! ... also weeded around the Onion rows on the plot ... :o)

Hi Shirley,pleased to hear it inspired you..sometimes we need a little nudge dont we ? also with having your g/house now you will want to get things growing in there..good luck with your seeds..as for the plot..dont be doing too much,we dont realise how much we have done till we get home & sit down..lol

Not a hope of any outdoor gardening today, Joan, unless I want to get watered in ... :o(((

Same here today...all i have done is opened g/house doors...going mad with my teeth at the moment..:o(

: o (((

Goodness me , you're well advanced...the benefits of a heated greenhouse of course and lots of enthusiasm!!!
Had a bit of a discussion on when we all sow our seeds, on my blog of yesterday! Without a greenhouse, I tend to wait now till March! you'll have a great garden/allotment full this summer!!!!
