in the autumn or even nearer Christmas. |

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. |

Info |
Pick
green tomatoes and put them on a warm window sill in the house to free up
space for other overwintering plants. |
| |
|
Tomatoes that have been growing outside and are not ripening can pulled
up as a whole plant and hung upside down in the greenhouse. If this takes
up too much space cut the fruiting branches off and hang them up. |

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 and reduce
the number of openings gradually in the daytime. A fan in the greenhouse
would be a good investment now 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. |
