I am planning on purchasing a lean-to glasshouse. It is a very exposed site beside a lake, subjected to strong winds. What type of glass would you recommend? Is there a strength difference between safety & horticultural glass?
My dad grew this plant in a glasshouse this summer assuming he had courgette seeds, any idea what they are?
I bought a plastic hanging basket preplanted with cherry tomatoes. They are just ripening but the plant appears to be dying and half the tomatoes are diseased looking . What is it and what can we do?

I have a problem with my tomatoes, the skin 's are splitting, Is there a recommended amount of water per plant or per square yard
Had an idea to run by you. Could one recreate a greenhouse/polytunnel effect by training tomatoes and peppers vertically on a sturdy steel frame and draping it with plastic? Could you envisage improvising an otherwise expensive fruit cage? Trying to work out how to grow a few plants...
As a first time tomato grower, what do I need to do to get best results?
I am growing some tomato plants in a polytunnel (first year) and one of them seems to have developed a problem. The leaves at the top have become rather crispy and shrivelled. The rest of the leaves seem to be fine albeit slightly leathery. None of the other plants have this problem and seem to be growing well. I always keep the soil adequately watered but not soaking wet.I gave it a feed about 2 weeks ago when the flowers started appearing and it looked in really good condition at the time. As you know the weather recently has been quite cold so I was wondering if the temperature fluctuations could have had an adverse effect. Someone has also suggested possible damage to the roots.
What can I plant in my glasshouse now 1st May. Bereavements took me away from gardening.I have sown Veg marrow yesterday as previous plants died of drought and frost. Never had a quince on my 10year old tree - and ideas??
