What's going on in the Greenhouse

[Logan]

Won't be able to do runner beans and courgettes this year
OH,is looking after the rest.

Ooops, hope I haven't upset @johnny canoe

@Logan Indoors is OK. But I might do them outdoors after the cold snap.

and roses?

These are Canadian roses! I love them for their unpretentiousness. They are not afraid of frost and blossom all summer.
Now my balcony replaces the greenhouse for me. It's cool there and I can plant plant seeds that are not afraid of the cold. For example, cabbage there is not stretched.

Recently, I moved the eggplants To temper and pricked my hand. I saw thorns on one of them. Seeds were from one package, Siberian selection. Why is one with spikes? Probably, accidentally got another variety or eggplant remembered its wild genes.

@Larisa That rose is so nice.. What a vicious thorn! And it has quite a few, hasn't it? You really have to be very careful. I never bother about eggplant as I have never been big on veg, just the occasional salad leaves and courgettes. Talking of which, all the 4 I planted outside died on me.. Must plant them again.. Are you sure you've got the correct seeds?

 

[Larisa]

Are you sure you've got the correct seeds?

I suspect that with seeds you can not be 100% sure. Although I bought from a good manufacturer, but anything can happen.
Once I bought the seeds of Cantrantus,but the Catharanthus grew. It seems that the manufacturer did not notice the difference.

Haha! With complicated and similar names, can you blame them? Here, we are always sent the wrong stuff.. I only discovered I was not sent black hellebores a whole year later.. It's very stressful to get a refund.. and even though they sent me replacements, I am NOT optimistic that they are the right thing. I will tell you next January!

 

[Larisa]

With complicated and similar names, can you blame them?

My friend laughed for a long time and said the same thing!

We try ourselves to create ratings of seed and seed producers. If this is a rare mistake, do not be scared. But if the system - everyone can read the review and nothing more will buy!

Think my Tree Mallow has germinated

 

[Larisa]

@zigs
How did you achieve such incredible success?!!

 

[zigs]

I bet all the others will come up now

 

[johnny canoe]

We're all having success with our seedlings and plants, very good. So my GH is more and more cramped as things grow but most days half the GH is emptied so things get some full sun time.
Cold and wet this morning so everything is staying in bed for now.

 

[zigs]

Not that much going on in mine

 

[johnny canoe]

Not that much is better than nothing at all.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Mine is very much like yours johnny....full to bursting point.We are waiting for a short sharp cold snap to hit us tonight and for the next couple of nights as well, so have added a layer of fleece around the greenhouse in addition to the bubble wrap that is still in place.
Would be soooooooo upset to loose any of my seedlings at this late stage
