So this weekend i had my first crop of dwarfbeans: tendergreen.

the flavour was very nice and they went well in my cottage pie. i would have taken some pictures but that thought entered my head after i ha eaten them lol.

tomato plants had another feed today i already have one flower trellis on the plant and the top is growing even faster.

peppers these are ok'ish. reading up on the interweb i found these plants are a waiting game. but one plant is very poorly.
this plant was placed in with the tomatos, so we have a tom plant the pepper and then another tom plant sharing the growbag, it was yesterday i notice the plant had inverted its leaves most have flipped over and the new leaf growth are looking like crunched up paper. i am in two minds too cull the plant or leave it too nature. dont need anything happening too the tom plants.

cucumbers are growing wild. i topped them at around 1 foot high and now they are like trifids crawling over the floor i have started running out of planting sticks too keep the in check and stop them taking over the lettuce patch.

newcomers are, basil-chives-spearmint-roma plum tomato and leading up the rear parsley.these all take up the space on the greenhouse's shelf

Greenhouse:

the 6x4 walk in greenhouse i purchased is from Kingfisher gardening, there are also gardman and other makes, all are the same layout nearly. the one i purchased cost £29.99 GBP comes with very basic pictorial instructions. a single cover in clear plastic. its width is 4ft2" and its length is 6ft2" its hight is roughly 6foot too the pitch, down one side of the greenhouse is a 6ft long shelf around 3-4ft high. it has a wire mesh type grill that acts as the shelf itself ( not very sturdy and could do with being replaced).

a single entry door with dual zipper allows it too roll up and be tied inplace with provided material ties on the covering. the covering itself is somewhat cheaply made and sewn. in a light wind you will find some holes where the tie cords tear the plastic. the covering is a clear type you may be able too find a replacement that will fit with bonded plastic mesh and a green finnish. this could be the better choice as covering is more re-enforced.

inside the GH. is very nice the shelving works a treat for smaller herbs, shallots,chives and the like maybe even a couple of oriental lettuce. under the shelving i placed my cucumbers and a few planting sticks hopefuly the cucumbers climbing abbilty will creep along the underside of the shelving.

the back wall would have been nice with a cross bracing pole fitted too allow climbers and give the GH more stability. with the door closed on a very hot day you will be getting temps near the 100's. with the door rolled up fully and tied back your temps will still be around the low too high 80's.

inside the greenhouse floor you can fit two 2.5x1.0foot growbags along each side and the back wal can take a single growbag with a 1.5 foot space left. shelving is a sorry affair what i recieved and is more like something you would find in a BBQ as a cheap metal grill.

in all the GH is a very nice item and needs a little more pennys spent. maybe a vent placed into the covering would help with the high temps inside. ideal for small gardens and with the same footprint as a 6x4 garden shed can squeeze into small gardens with ease.

i found this small greenhouse a nice little bargain for myself and has proven itself with my first harvest and many more in the future. but i will be doing some of my own changes too the shelving and finding a new cover.
