Is Your Greenhouse Sitting Empty? Make It Earn Its Space This Winter

The tomatoes are out—but your greenhouse season doesn’t have to be over!Join Gardening with Ben as I explore how to make a greenhouse or polytunnel useful through winter. After clearing my tomatoes at the Sheffield allotment, I’m looking at the opportunities that newly available space offers.We discuss winter salads and leafy crops, the difference between sowing seeds now and growing on established young plants, and setting realistic expectations for the colder, darker months.I also cover clearing and cleaning the space, checking plants before bringing them under cover, watering thoughtfully and keeping air moving. There’s a reminder about the limits of an unheated greenhouse, plus ideas for organising pots, trays and staging ready for spring.Whether you have a large polytunnel or a small greenhouse, start with one manageable project and build from there.What’s growing in your greenhouse this winter?
