Thanks all for your advise on sowing seeds, I will hold off for another couple or three weeks?

However we had the problem last year of 'half a green house'. Sacrilege I know, so, I set to and I now have 'nearly a whole green house' :D

You probably remember last years 'before' picture, made you all cringe, what a wast :? Still a wast I suppose cos there is nothing growing in it yet. Give me time, and advise, I'm new to all this 'dirt under the finger nails' malarkey?

I'm looking forward to growing a few old variety Toms and Cucumber (with flavour)? . . . as something different. I have some Cabbage (greyhound) and Purple Broccoli seeds (no idea what name). I presume they can be sown any time now in the green house?

Very impressive - we will have to start on ours. How long will it stay so tidy I wonder?

I thought Ipswich was further inland than that.

Congratulations on the massive clearout of your greenhouse. Have you had a visit from Kim and Aggie ? And will you please come round to our house and use your influence on my OH as our loft is absolutely bulging ??
Seriously, you now look as if you've got a lot of space for experimenting so hope you have a good growing season.
