Welcome to my greenhouse

Everything growing well, veg bed ready for tomatoes etc image . Grape vine got buds on now ( just see it at the back with the cane ) fingers crossed it going to grow across the roof.

I not had the GH long ( upgraded to a larger one this winter ) but most of the staging nearly full already and i still got more plants to go in yet. I am eyeing up another shelve for the rear end of the GH

I have got a magnolia in a pot  in flower ( white flowers ) i broke it off a large magnolia by accident about 2 week ago image, instead of throwing it i brought it back home and potted it up just out of curiosity. Now its flowering image  do you think it be a keeper and not die on me?

    Looks lovely image I have a new GH too but doesn't look as full as yours, a lot of mine are still inside on the windowsill and I was actually just wondering what I could move outside?? image

    Hi orchid lady - i have bit of everything in the unheated greenhouse and keep them in overnight. I live in Rossendale - Lancashire so its not exactly warm. I get my Horticultural fleece out and use that for night time. I don't think my dalia ( 2nd pic tray on table ) like it though so bring them in at night. My Antitriniam love it in GH do really well

    It looks great perki. I bet you'll have many a happy time in there, as will your plants. I spent this afternoon in mine, mainly reading the paper though!!

    I'm in Lancashire too Perki, but nearer to the seaimage I haven't done anything in my GH today but am off work now for a week so will make up for it tomorrow and get some plants repotted and into the GH.  I can always bring them back indoors if the looks 'sad'.

    Perki, what make is your greenhouse and are you pleased with it? It looks like just what I am after.

    The Greenhouse People do some great GH's Sprig and have some good offers, the service was excellent too as I was stuck a few times putting mine up and they were so helpful.

    Thanks Orchid Lady. I will have a look at those.

    Hi Sprig2 the make of the greenhouse is Elite , instructions are rubbish but elite are helpful when you need the help . I am very happy with it but had 6 panes blown out in the storms early this year, probably due to me not putting enough clips in. Some of the glazing bars flex a bit as well in really high winds, i going to add some cantilever bracing bars later to make it strong.
