Anybody planted tomatoes out in an unheated greenhouse yet?
I planted 6 money makers about 3 weeks ago , as an experiment , because I had more plants than I needed , we have had a few frosts since and the coldest in the greenhouse has been 0.9 C. A couple are doing ok,and are about 18" tall but I removed the other 4 yesterday as they have just stood still,at the same size I planted then out at 9".
According to the BBC it looks like the night temps could be improving
The plants in my conservatory , which are from the same batch are about 2 ft tall and flowering well, but it never drops below 10 C in there .
For the last 2 years I have suffered blight , so I am trying Ferline and Milla as they are ment to have some resistance, and will keep about 20 plants in the conservatory as its well away from the greenhouse and vegplot which had a lot of potatoes on last year.
I never had blight once in over 30 years in SE Essex(maybe I was just lucky) , but the damper climate and rubbish late summers we have had for the last 2 years here in SW Wales probably is not helping.
I am also growing Gardeners Delight. Chicco Rosso , and an Italian Cherry variety. What tomatoes are you growing?
