WINTER / LITTLE WINS
December in an
unheated greenhouse.
Protect established crops, record what worked and prepare a simple plan for the coming season.
Three priorities
- Check crop protection and the minimum thermometer.
- Check moisture before watering and avoid prolonged saturation.
- Review actual sowings and harvests before making next year’s plan.
Before you start
If nothing needs doing, a one-minute inspection counts. Then put the kettle on.
Check which crops are actually present, their stage of growth and the instructions for their varieties. Move a job if its conditions are not met. A blank harvest record is more useful than an invented success.
A useful five-minute inspection
Look at moisture, temperature and new growth. If foliage looks damaged, inspect both sides and take a clear photograph before deciding on a treatment. Water the growing medium only when needed.
