AGREENHOUS­E can be a real asset in the garden. Personally, I enjoy mine the most on rainy days – pottering around in the warmth, nurturing my seeds as the rain plinks and plonks on the glass above my head.

Greenhouse­s are available in all shapes and sizes and are a sure-fire way for you to elevate your gardening to the next level.

SEASONS GREENINGS

IF you’re new to the greenhouse game, they can be an escape into a world of growing wonder.

It’s not just about using it as a tool, but as a place to escape as well.

Your greenhouse becomes a room in which you can produce new growth, like an artist’s studio. It can be set up for quiet reflection or provide the perfect space for production.

And as a protected growing site, it also enables you to extend the growing season, giving you access to the joys of gardening for more months out of the year.

As your greenhouse is somewhat shielded from the seasons, you have the opportunit­y to grow seedlings, tender plants and vegetables, or even exotics, where you may not have before. So get excited about out-ofthe-box gardening and get planning what to plant.

WHERE you build your greenhouse is so important, but deciding where to site it will be determined by what you want to grow.

Every garden is different – only you will know which parts of your plot receive full, morning or evening sun, and which are lacking them.

Don’t forget that the sun’s position will change throughout the year too.

My biggest tip is to avoid placing it
