What veg and flower seeds can i grow this time of the year in my unheated greenhouse please?

I think it would have been best to start some seeds off a couple of weeks ago, really. But, I'm in the same boat as you! I started off some corn salad seeds today, and I think you could still do -


spring onions


coriander


lettuces (cold weather tolerant variety)


er


maybe carrots?


I have swiss chard, that I started a few weeks ago . . . .





Flower seeds - well I have lots of lobelia that self seeded all over the place, they are growng away lovely and if there is no heavy frost I think they will survive; winter pansies for sure.





That's a start eh?!

Try Pak choi, and Mizuma, and some of the other oriental vegetables. Young leaves can be used for salads and the plants will mature early next year.


Rocket takes off fast, and spring onions (white lisbon) planted now, and given a high nitrogen feed in February will repay the effort with a crop ready before you want to use your greenhouse for other things next summer.


As far as flowers are concerned cyclamen from corms will start up well at this time of the year, and there are all the spring flowering bulbs, which will come on well in an unheated greenhouse.


Good Luck
Reply:Where do you live, this is vital. But probaly very little, some winter squash.
