    I have lavender, geranium, pelargoniums, marigold and eucalyptus. And millions of tomatoes 'minibel'. 

    In the propagator is a mixture of stuff.

    I have a workbench and then a bit of shelving underneath, but I've taken over the dining table too image

    The growhouse is anchored to the wall. I wouldn't put my seedlings in it, I was going to sow some more! Although I don't know where I'm going to put what I've already got image

    Wow sparkles, what a lot of lovely seedlings you've got. image

    If the seeds are hardy ones that you could sow directly into the ground at this time of year I don't see why you couldn't use your grow house. Looking at its position in the photos there is more light than your indoor trays have.  Just remember to open it on sunny days for ventilation, they can get really warm.

    My Mum had a grow house which was tied to hooks screwed into the shed. The hooks are still there but..............

    I now own the grow house as Mum has given up sowing seeds. I think I'll have to get it out soon!

    Wow Perki! Love your parlargoniums!

    Hollie, my OH decided not to fight it anymore and cleared a lovely gardening area for me!

    We're in London, but we did have a frost the other morning - should I wait a while? I'm off this week, so I could set them outside for a bit each day, could I then put them in the growhouse?

    hollie hock it's good to have a partner who can make the frames, my husband made all the staging in my greenhouse, it saves a bit of money to spend on more plants image

    Blimey nut two and half year for the paeony to germinate, I think I would have lost my patience and thrown it out.

    Busy Lizzie, looks like you have been very busy, can I ask in your first picture to the left at the back can you tell me what they are please.

    Bob your veg is looking great, I'm behind on my veg at the moment, I really need to catch up.

    Sparkles you have  a lot of seeds going there.

    Perki, you have a lot going on there, make me realise how behind I am, I so hope there is time for me to catch up.image

    Can I ask if your seedlings have got a bit spindly, when you pot them on can you put them down a bit deeper in the pot so they are not flopping all over the place. If you know what I mean. image
