What's going on in the Greenhouse

Alp, your shelving and plants are great.

Oh crumbs! Thank you for mentioning that about willow trees. A neighbour has one with bendy branches and I so want one. I will bear gift for exchange to see if I can get one. Strawberries do spread everywhere and I have them everywhere, coming out of my ears, but I don't mind. Nice to have a bit of fresh fruits. Most of those that I bought for 50p yesterday died on me as I don't free range them. My fault.

Alp, have you got room for a willow?
Don't Plant it close to the house, the roots will go everywhere.

 

[alp]

A big pot for the wily willow. Not a huge willow which sucks up all the water.

Another favorite is an acer which will open like a brolly. Down the road, there used to be a brolley like plant outside the house and it was gorgeous. Yesterday, I saw that they saw everything else and there was literally not a branch on top What a crime!

 

[Logan]

Ah,I see.
Oh dear that's a shame.

Hoiked the strawberries out of the greenhouse into the cold frames to make more room.

Pricked out me Manx Marvel Tomatoes

"...to Make more room"
I hear ya, I'm at the point of going for it and planting big pots just to make room. Of course that means having to drag the pots into my garage at night so frost doesn't get the plants.

I have a question. I put my seeds in trays and put in my greenhouse. Left unzipped during the day and closed up at night. I followed instructional videos to a T on sowing the seeds. They dried out terribly. I keep watering them, but they keep drying out. I moved the greenhouse to a shadier spot, still getting dry. Is it the Pete moss trays? I think i should have gone with plastic. Are my seeds done?

Without a pic I can't really tell, have they died or collapsed. If they haven't died they could be alright. I wouldn't use peat pots, use plastic. Try and get the pots really wet.

@Logan this is the best pic i could get. This is right after I watered them this morning.

They haven't come up yet. Try and soak them in a tray of water,then make sure the compost is wet. Then take them out.

 

[KKosy87]

@Logan yes I'm trying to get them to germinate! I feel like I won't have much success. Thank you i will try doing that! Next time I will buy plastic ones for sure!

What seeds are you trying to germinate, @KKosy87? There must be some instructions on the package. Follow that instructions. Remember greenhouse can be very hot for seeds. Some seeds need optimum and minimum temperatures. Usually, seed germinations require moisture and warmth. Light is not always necessary. Also some seeds require stratification.
