Zoomer, I have also discovered that GH held bulbs flower earlier - total mistake when I left some potted-up gladioli (same black plastic buckets to be inserted later into attractive pots) in a corner of my greenhouse. Wish I had a larger greenhouse!
Oneofseven, don't we all! I think that no matter what size GH you have, very soon it becomes too small for all the things you want to do. However, there is no room or flat ground to put a larger one here, so we will continue with what we have. I have never put lily pots in the GH, I find that with all the various types I can have lilies pretty well all the good weather long.
Time to get out the tea strainer though, for catching the lily beetles - used this for years, stopping the darned things from dropping belly up on the ground and thus disappearing.

Hey! Good idea, Bookertoo. I'm sure I have one somewhere around the place, last used probably several years ago! Maybe sitting with my teapots
