Definitely the Wilko one, they're great but I found the last 2 covers I had for it were useless so bought the more expensive thicker one and it's been great.

Ok, I am very tempted by one now, I have even looked where I would put one. Now - when do you tke the seedlings/plants out into one? For example, I have my seeds coming up on the windowsills now, would I be able to take them out soon or I have to wait for weather to warm up? Or if I put the fleece cover on for the night they will be ok?

I think my windowsills are quite 'dark', so I think the seedlings would benefit from the light outside.

Some seedlings could go out quite early, but less tender stuff wouldn't survive. Things like chard/spinach/broadbeans/sweetpeas could be grown on in the GH. If they started on a window sill or in a propagator you would need to harden them off so out in the day and back in at night. If you were prepared to fleece as well in the GH on very cold nights you could push it with some more tender crops. But things like sweetcorn and squashes like courgette etc I wouldn't chance yet.
It can depend on how exposed your garden and the greenhouse is as well. But I think most seed is so cheap that if you chance some early seedlings but then keep sowing every few weeks you always have a backup.

We will all be watching the weather over the next couple of months and either bringing stuff in or wrapping things up in newspaper/fleece when those colder nights hit.

Morrisons have had small walk in ones for £25.

Wilkinsons mini 4 tier ones are £12 today - they put them on sale! Also, the bigger walk in ones are discounted from about £43-44 to £30.

I bought a small walk in one for £36 today (I know, the bigger one was cheaper, but the space is an issue!). I have built it today and put in my garden. It looks quite study, and I put some bricks on the bottom 'pipes and the cover looks very good and strong. There are 6 shelves, so I hope to be able to grow some lettuce and radish soon now.

Went to wilkinsons today to buy one of them plastic greenhouse as my girlfriend wants something so she can start some seeds off and they are still £15 but the website is showing £12.

I was in the shop yesterday, and the sign said £15 in big numbers, but then there was a smaller label on the same sign saying £12. Did you buy it in the end for £15 and that is what it came up on the till? I am actually surprised.

It was clear in the shop yesterday, that they were sorting things out, as I think the new price only started yesterday - it was £15 on Saturday on the website.

No i didn't buy it but i will be going in there tomorrow so i will ask then.
