#MyTime Week 8 – greenhouse gardening

Still plenty of tomatoes in the greenhouse

Plenty of tomatoes left in the greenhouse and the sun is still shining so they are ripening well.  It’s been a great crop this very sunny Summer and I’ve mostly kept up with the watering in there so have had good quality fruit too.  (OK I admit I get some rogue leaders as I’m a bit lax at pinching out the side shoots.)

I’ve been running a greenhouse for quite a few years now and, as well as a regular tomato and chilli crop, manage to germinate early seeds too – lavender and cosmos from seeds I gather from the garden and other flowers and vegetables too.

I’d like to get a bit more clever with the timings though so that I am using the greenhouse throughout the seasons and not just overcrowding in the spring and, if I’m honest, using it as a bit of a dumping ground for the rest of the season!  So, for one of #MyTime intentions, I’d like to get clever with my greenhouse gardening – a little light research over the winter will come in handy I think!  And, in my general sorting, I could lose some of those plastic pots and sort the potting shed out to house some other stuff that takes up the staging space.
