Seeds
to Sow |
If
your greenhouse is not heated all the time you could sow some sweet peas
ready to place outside early next spring. These plants will produce flowers
earlier, make sure they are planted deep in the pot. Ideally the conditions
of a cold frame should be replicated so they dont grow too fast. |

JOBS |
|
Reduce
the amount of water your plants recieve, check on a more individual basis. |
| |
|
Keep
an eye out for bugs, especially now as plants are being brought in from
outside. |
| |
|
Ventilation
is still important but dont forget to close everything at night. A fan in
the greenhouse is a good investment as the circulation of air helps to prevent
botrytis. |

If
you have any houseplants in your greenhouse, go
to the Houseplant section for more advice. |
