I made my own indoor greenhouse yesterday, although im finding a lot of conflicting information regarding the temperature it should be. Im growing basil, coriander, parlsey, mint, oregano, thyme and some chillis to begin with (im a beginner!) and was wondering if someone could help, thanks!!

    Many of those are hardy i.e oregano, thyme and mint. I'd put them outside if possible, but keep the mint in a pot, it spreads.

    Yup I've mint chives and now parsley outside. Started the baby's on windowsill but now most are very hardy

    thanks for the reply! when should I put them outside, once they start to grow? will continuing to keep them in the greenhouse cause problems?

    Are they seeds or baby plants?

    Not sure bout green house but my indoor parsley is a bit weak. Its been visiting the outside daily and had its first night out yesterday

    You gradually introduce them to outside
