Alton Greenhouses' Greenhouse Growing Guide |
|
January 13, 2010
If anyone knows how to make the perfect cedar greenhouse, it's Alton. We believe our current range is the finest yet full of growing benefits! Here is our guide to greenhouse gardening throughout the year designed to help you get the most from your Alton greenhouse:
JANUARY
Sow hardy annuals for growing as pot plants. Most dwarf, compact varieties are suitable. In a warm propagator, sow slow-growing plants like begonias and F1 hybrid geraniums for summer bloom. Gloxinias, streptocarpus, and smithiantha can also be sown in the warmth of a heated propagator. Sow freesias for summer flowers. Sow salad vegetables like lettuce and carrots.
Chrysanthemums and carnations can be propagated from cuttings using small shoots growing from plants saved from last year. New cuttings can be brought from specialist nurseries. Prepare or buy-in seed and potting compost for the busy months ahead.
Pot-on plants like calceolarias, cinerarias, primulas, schizanthus and salpiglossis, being grown for early spring display. Watch out for leaf moulds on these and spray with systemic fungicide if necessary. Ventilate whenever weather permits.
