This Is Where It All Starts


Our modest rear garden and the two green- houses. The one on the left has a little heating in if needed and is insulated with bubble wrap. Doesn't contain much over winter usually, apart from a few cacti barely clinging to life.

This one is used in spring with a little warmth to raise the seedlings for the allotment, following which they are moved to the unheated greenhouse to begin the process of hardening off.

Once moved out of the warm greenhouse, the tomato plants that have been raised indoors will be moved in. This will be followed later by cucumbers, peppers etc. in the other one, once the allotment plants are outside. This 'conveyer belt' system seems to work reasonably well.
