Even the cold greenhouse got down to 2.9C this week. Caught the last of the flowers outside, but the little gem lettuce is still going strong I wonder for how much longer.
@purplerallim my temp was in the plastic walk in greenhouse in garden only one side door zipped down other side just got netting on with zip open
Good that you still have lettuce I did not sow enough this year really and one of the lettuces I did sow tasted bitter so gave that to the chickens they like it
This was the second sowing @Gardengirl.. half came up but just fizzled away the others have done well but I haven't picked them as much as summer ones.
Hello , I still have lettuce in g/h , keep forgetting to pick it 4 basil plants still hanging on and I’m going to try and over winter the Aubergine 🍆 plant I’ve got
Gardengirl , 6 x 8 with a sloping roof , delivered and put up in about 3 to 4 weeks , a winter project , really looking forward to it Hoping to get to allotment Monday as weather should be ok then
Hoping it will dry enough for a quick visit. I have been spending money & have Rock Dust and seaweed products to take so I am ready with them in late winter as spring approaches. For anyone who has never tried it I can really recommend Rock Dust or Remin (same thing, crushed volcanic rock). It is particularly good round permanent planting such as fruit trees & bushes , and long standing crops like some of the brassicas. You need to apply it 2-3 months in advance of when you want the benefit, seems to help crops ripen, brassicas heart up well etc very good on clay soil helps release the natural fertility, a lot of manures & composts lack any minerals & this replenishes them.
