Another thing If a green house isn’t used for growing it soon turns into a dumping ground.

Both look a mess.

GH2 has one remaining "bed" on the left. I have some more pots on order for this side.
I've been very pleased with the amount of salad leaves that have grown over winter. Several pots have potatoes in and they're looking healthy. Most of the pots have been sown with something - carrots, beetroot, peas, often a couple of different things as a fail-safe.
I'm having a rethink about how I use the garden..........but more on that later.
I lik that roundish supporting thingy in the last photo. No point asking where you got is it is there?

^^^ Its a kitchen saucepan stand - FREE of course. I've used it for supporting peas/cucumbers but my initial idea was for strawberry pots on each level.

I thought it was one of those American style tomato supports. Strawberries would be good.

I like your greenhouses Veggie! They look so productive
I will want you guys to prod me to remind me to sow in the autumn too, so I can test out how far I can push my tunnels here in the winter. That'll be an experiment or two!

I think you can also double skin polytunnels, potentially making three layers of cover if you add smaller hoop houses inside.

I have peas growing, can't remember what but not Bijou because they don't survive the frost even in the gh. I don't have any flowers.
