Product Information

Tomatoes are tender and need to harden off before being planted out. Do this by putting them in a cold frame for a week. If you don’t have a cold frame, place them outdoors during the day, then bring in at night for a week, then the following week, leave them out in a sheltered spot all day and night. Despite its durability, the fabric that Vivosun uses for their grow bags is also incredibly breathable. The roots and soil stay more oxygenated and cooler during the summer. Growing tender crops such as aubergines, cucumbers, peppers and chillies and tomatoes through the summer months

There are many courgette varieties to choose from – some making large trailing plants, ideal if you have plenty of space, while others are bushy and compact, great in small veg plots or containers.Seeds will germinate on a sunny windowsill indoors or a heated propagator unit in the greenhouse (be aware that in cold weather, in unheated greenhouses, the propagator may struggle to maintain warm temperatures) They are cheaper than traditional containers: When you contrast the two types of containers grow bags are almost always less expensive especially when you consider how many plants you can fit in a garden pot as compared to a grow bag. If growing salads, prepare the bag as before and cut out a long panel on top of the bag. Plant or sow in rows across the width of the bag. This has been our in-depth guide on grow bags, and you should now be well informed on which to choose and how to use them.

When growing any fruit or veg the danger of frost can pose a serious threat to your produce. Therefore, growing melons in a greenhouse is much more forgiving than growing them outside. You can start to sow your melon seeds from mid-April until the end of May. To start with, soak the seeds in lukewarm water for 24 hours to encourage germination and to penetrate the seed. Then like most fruit or vegetables you will need to sow the seeds around 1 inch deep directly into small pots around 3-4 inches in diameter. Water the seeds lightly whenever the soil looks dry being careful not to over-water them and leave the seeds to germinate. What Melon varieties to choose Consider fleecing and heating a partitioned section of your greenhouse to make a suitable environment for growing on tender plants Because they come in a variety of sizes, you don’t need a lot of space to have your own greenhouse, which can be useful for any garden. Because of their controlled environment, these are also excellent for gardening. You can save time by setting up an automatic timer to water the plants in many greenhouses. In addition, greenhouses provide a consistent supply of concentrated carbon dioxide, which allows plants to grow larger leaves and a more robust stem. Also, there is a good chance that the plants will be more likely to fruit and flower early. When to grow vegetables in a greenhouseOutCreator grow bags feature a unique trademark in the world of grow bags. They’ve taken the classic design and added a “harvest window” to allow you access to the roots without the hassle of digging. Pollination of the melon plant is key, without it the fruit will not grow. With the sliding doors on an Access greenhouse, bees will easily be able to enter your greenhouse, and pollenate, however you can pollinate your plant yourself. Once the flowers appear take a small instrument and brush each flower to encourage pollination. A few days later, remove the male flowers, you can distinguish them from female because the female flowers will have a miniature melon seen behind the flower itself. They are available in a range of sizes, from just one gallon to 30 gallons, so no matter what type of plant you’re growing, Vivosun has you covered.

Courgettes are thirsty plants and need regular watering, especially if growing in a container. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist. During hot spells, plants may even need watering daily. When the soil is questionable, an alternative is to use grow bags and large pots. Pots or bags can be placed on top of white plastic sheeting that has been placed over the soil. If no diseases are present, potting media, including grow bags, can be reused at least once for different crops. Cordon tomatoes need support, usually either a tall sturdy cane or a vertical string coming down from an overhead horizontal support, such as a greenhouse roof, and anchored in the soil under the plant’s rootball. However, tomatoes don’t cling to supports or twine round them naturally, so must be attached by hand as they grow. Some of the several advantages of grow bags over traditional pots and containers include the following:

They grow particularly well in a greenhouse, usually producing an earlier and larger crop than plants outdoors. In a greenhouse, they are also less likely to succumb to blight disease. Although grow bags vary in price depending on the size, quality and material they are made from they are all relatively low cost.

Asian Melon (Oriental Melon): Varieties like ‘Korean Yellow’ or ‘Ogen’ are smaller-sized melons with a crisp, sweet taste. They can be successfully grown in a greenhouse and offer a unique flavour for your palate. Tomatoes thrive in rich, free-draining but moisture-retentive soil, so dig plenty of garden compost into the ground before planting. Choose your warmest, sunniest spot, sheltered from wind. The square grow bags range in size from 3 gallons to 10 gallons, making them ideal for all but the largest plants. Sow the seeds individually on their side, 13mm (½in) deep, in 7.5cm (3in) pots of moist seed compost. Then place in a heated propagator, greenhouse or on a sunny windowsill enclosed in a clear polythene bag. The seeds need 18–21°C (65–70°F) to germinate.This method is a good option if you can only source smaller grow bags or there is less space in your greenhouse. The diseases damping off, grey mould, and powdery mildew are to be avoided. Glasshouse red spider mites, glasshouse whitefly, and glasshouse leafhoppers are common under-glass pests. How to heat your greenhouse on a budget These tender plants are easy to grow from seed, usually sown indoors in spring, for transplanting outdoors in early summer. They can also be sown outdoors in early summer.
