Cleared out both the shed and the greenhouse this weekend and now just have to clean the greenhouse glass and guttering. It was good to clear out the stuff left behind and to make the shed my own ready for the growing season. I plan to buy some cheap staging for the green house to maximise space for growing seedlings and there is also a gravelled space for growing plants in pots. The greenhouse is large 10’x 8′ so there is plenty of room. I have bought lots of seeds. In the greenhouse I plan to grow;

Tomatoes ( Ailsa Craig and and Rainbow mix), Jalepeno Chili Peppers, Sweet Peppers, Aubergines

Outside there are four beds 10’x 5′ so I should be able to grow plenty of food. I have the seeds to grow;

Runner beans ( snowstorm), French beans (cobra), Sweetcorn ( lark), Leek (musselburgh), Kale ( darf green curled), spring onion ( white lisbon), Broccoli (summer purple), Fennel ( victorio), Beetroot ( boltardy), Sage, Carrot ( flyaway), Thyme, salad leaves, basil, coriander, rosemary.

I should also get some early sprouting broccoli for next spring. I also want to develop some perennials along with putting the strawberry seedlings in the long containers Stuart already put alongside the greeenhouse.

I will especially concentrate on growing herbs which this garden lacks and I plan to make a herb garden near to the house, perhaps in a new bed in front of the french doors.
