Greenhouse News
My greenhouse was given to me by some dear friends and was carefully put up by my husband. My dad laid the pavers which look fantastic and I have spent lots of hours, with my mum’s help, planting and repotting lots of seeds.
News from the greenhouse is good. The pavers are stopping the weeds growing and have made the floor even - so a big thanks to my dad! AND I now have lots of seeds which have germinated thanks to the help of my mum and the expert advice and support given by Top Veg - so a big thanks to my mum and Top Veg!
So what’s been growing in the greenhouse?

Homegrown vegetables


Today I planted a pink/white eggplant! It’s from Japan! I bought it at a roadside nursery just outside of McMinnville, Oregon! Really pretty and looks like it will be delicious!

Hi BoggyWoggy,
The plant sounds pretty, is it? Will it grow in England? I will ask Top Veg for their advice. http://topveg.com/ask-mike/
Thanks for sharing.
