Green House

Can't call it a glass house cause its plastic, but it is green! Moneymaker full tomatoes and red baron cherry tomatoes plus some salads, lettuce and spring onion. I'm trying outdoor cucumbers this year

  1. Hi Frank,

    Hope life is well with you and yours. Great to see your boys in blue becoming Kings of Europe. All good for Irish rugby.

    Here we too are doing gardening stuff. My wife Orla has deck full of pots of herbs/tomatoes strawberrys etc..I just created a penned in area in garden recently for vegtebales (we are riddled with rabbits here, so fencing off mandatory.) Just wondering where you got the plastic greenhouse. Need to acquire something like that for the more sun dependent produce etc......

    cheers Barry

  2. Hi Barry, All is well here. I got the green house in B&Q, as a stop gap, a few years ago. I plan to build a polycarbonate one myself soon (see goldstar plastics, Dublin). We both love the garden & we are a perfect mix as Catherine looks after grass & flowers, while I take care of the veg & chickens. Hope all is well with you, Orla & the children. My children are all grown up & we have 4 great grandkids now - I'm spending a lot of time building play houses & swing sets. - Frank

  3. Is there a difference between indoor and outdoor cucumbers?

  4. No real difference except some types have been developed to grow outside now. They say toms & cucumber like different growing conditions, so they shouldn't be grown together in a green house - I've always managed to grow them together
