Has just been put together in our local community garden.

Is there anything we could grow on now through the winter in their greenhouse

This is run by volunteers.

Hi Scotcat, suggest maybe some salad leaves, chard, mustard, quick growing salad stuff really. Perhaps some early strawberry plants in a growbag for the first strawbs, they are pretty hardy. Some sweet peas in pots to put out early next year.

Thankyou Naturesbabe I shall let the others know and will post a photo of our greenhouse later.

We tried potatoes in recycled tyres in summer and yes they did grow well.

Also courgettes but the plants grew better than grew in ground rather than the tyres.

Sweetpeas did well in tyes as did the tom thumbs.

It all sounds very enterprising, looking forward to seing your photos later.
