The larger outdoor bed takes 100 plants and the smaller bed another 50. Added to this I also grow about 20 plants in pots. So, around 270 plants of early flowering chrysanths . In past years I grew about 50 pots of Late flowering chrysanths on the standing ground in front of the first greenhouse. This area was converted in 2000 and is now used to grow about 40 plants of early flowering sprays.
Summer is an active time, both with chrysanths and general garden jobs.
Although not easy to see, I have removed the top row of glass down both sides of the upper greenhouse, this helps to improve air flow through the house and reduce daytime temperature a little. My garden in winter Winter in Aberdeen is usually an interesting time - this is because of the changeability of the weather. Snow one day, rain the next and sunny on the next. I use the upper greenhouse for propagation and housing non hardy plants. The inside of the house is lined with bubble film for insulation.
