Greetings all. I have just joined the group and I look forward to reading the boards and sharing in the discussion.
I am pretty much a newbie gardener. I took early retirement last year and I am now starting to enjoy my garden, having spent the last 3 months building walls and beds! I have now put up my first greenhouse and I plan to do the usual stuff with tomatoes etc next year. My question now is, what can I do with it this year? It is a 6'x6' and is in a position such that one side I partially shaded whilst the other side gets the sun for most of the day.
I hope to sow bedding plants for the garden in readiness for early planting next year but for now I would be happy for any tips. In fact, I would be happy for any tips at all to help me get the most out of the greenhouse.

Hi Ian and welcome to the forum.
It sounds like you have been a very busy man! I thought you were meant to slow down when you retired.
If you have a minute I could do with some hard landscaping in my garden.
If you can get hold of plants you may still have a chance of growing in your greenhouse. Try and find plants of chilli peppers, cucumbers or aubergines. All are relatively easy to grow and relish the extra heat of a greenhouse.

Many thanks for the reply Jess. As for slowing down, that has not happened
I am moving along quite nicely with the greenhouse and have found some fairly good cucumber and courgette plants. I have also planted some Salad Bowl and Lollo Rossa lettuce, heck I even found some strawberry plants On top of that I have sown some Rocket and Spinach seeds. Lord alone knows if I am doing it correctly but time will tell
