    January is a great month for doing jobs that you possibly haven’t had time to do at other times of the year. More importantly, before you get busy with the new growing season, cleaning the greenhouse should be top of that ‘To Do’ list.

    Ideally choose a dry, sunny day to do this job to help things dry quickly. This will also minimise stress to any plants being overwintered in the greenhouse.

    Start by taking everything out of the greenhouse. Any portable shelving units should be thoroughly washed with warm, soapy water to remove any lurking slug/snail eggs and bacteria/disease.  You’ll also need to do the same with all the pots whatever material they’re made from.

    Whilst they’re drying, wash both the interior and exterior of all the glass or plastic greenhouse panes. It’s vital to successful crop growth to allow as much light inside as possible.

    When cleaning greenhouses, a top tip is to scrunch up newspaper and use that to clear debris from the glass panels for a sparkling shine. Keeping your windows clean and clear will let the sun through effectively and trap the warmth too.

    Check any external guttering, as it’s likely to be full of leaves and debris which will stop free-flow of rainwater.

    If you don’t have guttering it might be worth considering installing this along with a downpipe and water butt to give you an added source of rainwater during the growing season.

    So, get the year off to a flying start by ensuring your greenhouse is good to go for growing season. Cleaning your greenhouse to clear it of any old materials, debris and dirt is a great way of welcoming the new year and starting fresh.

    You can extend the life of your winter plants, especially herbs and vegetables, by covering them with protection. Cloches, cold frames and polytunnels are like mini unheated greenhouses that keep out the cold and wind and help retain heat around the plant.

    British weather is unpredictable by nature. One day it’s cold, overcast and damp, the next it’s raging gales – then the day after is all blue skies and sunshine.

    But for plants, that unpredictability can wreak havoc, especially in autumn and early winter. Winds and sudden cold snaps can damage plants, so protection is vital.

    They can also be used to protect half-hardy and vulnerable plants from frost.

    Here’s how to keep your garden protected and productive over winter.

    Cloches are glass or plastic domes or square structures that fit over individual plants. The word cloche comes from French and means ‘bell’, a reference to their shape. Cloches were originally made from glass but modern versions are plastic, which is much less likely to break.

    They are used as portable greenhouses, taking the protection out to plants in the soil. Their greenhouse effect can also be used to ripen the last fruits from tomatoes, peppers and chillies without the cost of a greenhouse.

    The problem with early glass cloches is ventilation. On sunny days, the heat can cause condensation in the cloche and damage the plant. Gardeners had to prop the cloche up with a small rock to allow air to circulate.

    Modern cloches come with ventilation like a panel or window that opens. Square lantern-shaped cloches have detachable pyramid lids that can be rotated slightly, creating air holes.

    They are a great cost-effective way to protect half-hardy plants without installing a large structure like a greenhouse. And they come in handy during spring and summer when you want to protect young plants from pests like slugs.

    Cloches can also come in opaque terracotta, which is used in the spring to force rhubarb. It creates a dark, warm environment to encourage new shoots to grow.

    Cold frames are like miniature greenhouses. They are usually attached to the side of a house and have brick walls and a glass roof that can be lifted for ventilation.

    You can build a small DIY cold frame by making a low brick wall and attaching an old window pane to the top. The lid needs to slope downwards to allow water to drain away.

    Cold frames are cheaper and smaller than a greenhouse and will protect tender plants from frost. They are often used to sow seeds earlier in the year and to harden off indoor-sown seedlings before transplanting into the garden. And they keep out pests.

    A cold frame is ideal for harbouring tender plants like fuchsias and geraniums over winter. Pack the inside walls with straw to stave off the worst of the cold.

    Polytunnels are pop-up plant protection tunnels, usually made from plastic hoops that suspend a layer of horticultural fleece over the plants. The ends can be tied and pinned to the ground during cold weather and lifted and opened to allow ventilation on warm days.

    Polytunnels are great for long rows of vegetables like salads, and can be used to keep plants cropping for much longer.

    They are also great during the summer as a low-cost greenhouse. Tomatoes and peppers will ripen much faster in that warmer environment.

    The downside to polytunnels is that they are hardly attractive features for a decorative garden, and mostly used by serious veg growers. But if you do grow your own food, consider putting a polytunnel in your garden to get even more produce.

    Polytunnels and greenhouses both give you the ability to grow crops that normally don’t fare so well in the Great British climate. They also enable you to extend the current year’s growing season as well as giving you a head start on the new growing season.

    So, whichever one you choose, it’s a win-win situation. But which one should you choose? Especially when space and funds are at a premium…

    Well, the cheapest option is definitely a polytunnel. It’s basically a framework of large hoops which slot into foundation tubes covered with a heavy-duty plastic. These are secured by digging the plastic into the soil along each side.

    Venting them properly is the biggest hurdle, so ensure you choose one that has a door at both ends to create a through draft which is essential for healthy crops.

    They’re not usually good at keeping heat in and condensation can also be a problem, but it’s now possible to buy specialist plastic with anti-fog properties which helps greatly reduce these issues.

    Another polytunnel advantage is that they don’t need a hardstanding, they can be put up directly on soil and the ground doesn’t need to be perfectly level like it does for a greenhouse. Polytunnels also usually quicker and easier to assemble than greenhouses.

    The plastic covering on a polytunnel will need replacing around every 7 years as the plastic starts to degrade.

    When this degrades, light transmission lessens, whereas a greenhouse can potentially last a lifetime as long as the glass panes don’t break.

    If growing fruit, veg and flowers is your main priority then maximum light transmission is the main aim. In this case, a glass glazed greenhouse wins hands down because the polythene doesn’t allow as much light through as glass does.

    Plus, glass retains heat longer than any other glazing material. On the other hand, the design of a polytunnel is better suited to growing larger amounts of fruit and vegetables, but there’s no doubt a greenhouse looks far nicer than its plastic coated cousins!
