Buy a greenhouse or not
Comments

I bought a greenhouse last year , love it , but no way is it ever going to give my the worth of it back. It gives me a nice warm place to with plenty room to plant seedlings and care for flowers and veg.aylithuk said:One of my purchases I want to make for the garden this year is a greenhouse (saved up the funds this year)So my question had anyone spent the money and thought I am not getting my worth out of the greenhouse?

Bought my greenhouse 12 years ago and wouldn't be without it.
It's unheated, but protection from wet is enough for my potted agapanthus and other hardy-but-can't-cope-with-cold-wet-clay plants.
From early spring, I start off my hardy annuals from seed, and then from early summer onwards I grow tomatoes and chillies.
I've had my original £400 back in 12 years of tomatoes and chillies alone (we love chillies - I grow enough for a whole year's supply between fresh and frozen).0
