It’s been one of those weeks  washing almost dry… and then it rains. Hubby’s flat-out with the bees, and I’ve been fighting off a chest/sinus bug (would not recommend). The silver lining? My happy place under plastic. Even on the rough days, a quiet potter in the greenhouse resets everything — which is exactly why today’s episode is all about unlocking the secrets of growing under cover.

Step inside with me: warm, earthy air, tomato-leaf scent, fat drops of condensation, and two kinds of growers — the pot people and the plot people. Why does one side look like a produce commercial and the other like it needs a pep talk? Let’s crack it open together.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

·         🌡️ The greenhouse microclimate, decoded 

·         🪴 Pots as little planets 

·         🌱 Soil beds as powerhouses 

·         💧 Watering without the swamp 

·         🌼 Pairing & rotation that actually works 

·         🌞 Seasonal secrets 

I also cover a number of Quick wins you can try today

So grab a cuppa and come stand with me under the warm glow — we’ll turn your greenhouse into a calm, productive rhythm that keeps giving all year.
