Had to check your profile and then chuckle to my self with your half a glass house! No go in Southland :-). Looks lovely though and I'm very jealous.

One frost here and the basil in the tunnel house goes black. Already I have a plastic wrap as an extra 'skin' over my basil to protect it as long as possible.
I'm looking for something to grow after the tomatoes are out. Already planted some cabbages and flower seeds. Potatoes will go in about August.

Check the underside of the potato leaves for tiny mites it could be that new pest thats decimating potato harvests around NZ. We had it this year on the potatoes and basil but not the tomatoes. Basil seems to cope with it though the mites are visible thus not apetising young growth seemed ok though.
Mind you because of it we had an interesting potato harvest a bucket of potatoes the size of beans delicious in a whole potato salad.
Hiyas Charlieb2.thanks we pleased.:}} Cheers for that beaker59. not sure what it was.looked like a "rust" type of thing all over the leaves.best idea was to cut them off at the neck. and they went over the fence.( not in compost). Finished the glasshouse today. most impressed. Its situated over our old potato patch and it was rotary hoed each year.Ground was well fertilized with blood and bone. gen garden fert. and sheep pellets. about 6 weeks ago.Going to garden centre tomorrow to see what we can find.and top up with potting mix.Nice and warm in there today :}}

I've already bough a couple of pots to put on my window sill for my basil because was told they do NOT like the cold.the guy at the plant shop said that growing mesculan salad lettuces would work fine over winter in Auckland . presume the same for you up there fisher!
