I want to share some pics of my growhouse I recently purchased, I wanted it for overwintering.

also for tomatoes next summer.

It took me over 5 hours just to construct the aluminium frame
3mm toughened safety glass
4 removable seed tray shelves
removable centre shelving
top 2 panes are removable sliding front panes
it measures length 121cm - height 149cm - wide 65cm

Hi Tafy and to the forum. Nice little starter greenhouse you have there. Best of luck with it. Post pics of your progress.

Thanks for the welcome Jim
Yes I'll post pics hopefully they'll be tomato vines hanging with big juicy red bulging tomatoes

I'm hoping to use 2 tomatorite growbags and plant 6 baby tomato plants using the growbag pots

I should have enough room for the 2 growbags lying side by side with 3 plants in each.

Hi there gus
Thanks for asking and showing interest so I just took these pics 2 mins ago to update you....

My Hydrangeas cuttings are doing just fine and Chrysanthemums are looking good
also Fuchsia cuttings looks like they have caught.

I will be cutting a few of the mums on the weekend for my parents grave (cemetary)

I can then also replace glass shelf which I had to take out because the mums grew above middle shelf this will then make more room for me to overwinter a few of my other plants that are currently in pots on my patio (fuchsias etc)
temperatures have really dropped drastically here now Winter is well on it's way, none of my Roses have any new buds now which is a usually a sign they're getting ready to sleep.

(Mother Nature Wow a very clever and such a wonderful thing)

anyway here's a few pics of the growhouse for you gus...

Hi gus
Ahh they are my little Fuchia cuttings "dark eyes" looks like they've caught too (apart from one)
I planted those cuttings in August.

I have read somewhere that up to 21days after planting is the most critical period for the cuttings survival.....they are still green as you can see so hopefully they have rooted.

The glass globes are old solar lights many people use them in gardens and along driveways etc

I threw mine away after 2 years usage the electronic bit inside got rusted being out in all weather
but I kept the glass outer domes because they are perfect using on pots as mini Propagators.

Great idea, Tafy!

a great recycle idea
and the plants seem to agree
