This is where it all starts off!

Without it, I would be unable to afford to keep my garden and allotments as I like them.

The Greenhouse !!… to me “The Work house” might be a more appropriate name, as I do a lot of work in here, particulaly in the first three or four months of the year.

The following pictures will bear testament to that;

My goodness, how busy you have been! Pricking out is my least favourite gardening job so I don't know how you've had the patience to do all of those. It gives me backache too :(

I SAW IT TO BELIEVE IT. I am sure you win many first prizes at your local show.

Gooodness, it takes a lot of patience when pricking out all ones seedlings, so you must be virtuous, lol...
All doing well Teegee....

Thanks for all your comments and may I reply to ;

Craftyemma & Lincs lass pricking is not the problem it once was, I have taken a leaf out of the commercial growers book and sow as much as I can in cells.

This is fine for seeds that I can pick up individually, but I still have to revert to the traditional methods for 'dust' like seeds.

Costas; There was a time when I used to exhibit but not anymore I'm afraid.

That greenhouse staging looks deeper and more sensible than mine, as I cant grow anything under mine, too dark. Where did you get it TG ?

Hi Diane

My greenhouse is an Alton 10 x 8 and the staging is standard, so if you check with Alton you should be able to get the dimensions...... Tg

My dad told me he now sows one or two seeds in small pots so he doesn't have to do much pricking out. So I went out and bought two trays with 40 small pots in each, I will be doing the same in the future :)
