Get your greenhouse ready

It's getting to be that time if you have a hobby grenhouse.I know you are itching to get started. Looking through all those seed magazines .Picking out your favorite flowers and plants to grow.
Now's the time to be cleaning up your greenhosue and getting ready.Sterilize all your benches and equipment. You can use bleach, a 10% solution or try to find a commercial product called Greenshield or Zero tol.These products work great for sterilizing.
Make sure if you use any old pots or flats or plastic of any kind to sterilize real good.You are asking for serious problems with disease if you don't.The first step to succesful greenhouse growing is sanitation.

If you have heaters now is the time to run them and check their operation.Unit heaters especially need attention.If they are not running correctly you will pay the price later when your greenhouse is full of plants.

Start pansy and other cold crops indoors .They can be moved into cold greenhouse before to long.
