Autumn jobs for the greenhouse
– get the tomatoes to ripen!
Pray for sunshine, or try putting apples or ripe bananas in to produce ethylene gas which ripens them. Or look up recipes for green tomato chutney. Or try fried green tomatoes.
– empty everything out on a nice day
– wash down the glass
– clean all the pots in some jeynes fluid solution
– sweep out the floor
– do any repairs that need doing now.
– put shelves back in for using to grow things over winter and move in any plants that need to stay out of the bad weather.
– if you want to insuate then get clips and bubblewrap. It reduces light so it’s important to ensure the windows are cleaned.
– Enjoy!
