Easy Plants To Grow In Your New Greenhouse

By: Mike Harker

Our little greenhouse permits us to plant vegetables and fresh flowers all year and protects them from the bad weather and the bugs. As greenhouses are limited in space, you want to choose the flowers and vegetables that produce a high yield. Here are a few easy greenhouse plants to start with…

Snapdragons:
Depending on the variety, Snapdragons grow 2 to 3 feet tall and make a lovely cut flower. Cooler temperature is suitable for its growth. So, as a winter production in your greenhouse, Snapdragons could be an ideal choice. If you want to produce it in the summer, you have to provide shade to shield it from the burning afternoon sun.

Patio Tomatoes:
In the limited space of your modest greenhouse, a patio tomato grows well. Tomato plants produce better results, if daytime temperatures stay lower than 90 degrees F. and night time temperatures stay more than 55 degrees F. Patio tomatoes produce their crop over a period of six to eight weeks. They can be taken away after production has ceased and replaced with another type of plant.

Carrots:
Carrots should be considered for planting in a greenhouse because it takes up less space than any other vegetable, because the edible portion of the carrot grows under the ground. Carrots only need to be spaced 2 to 3 inches apart, but they must be planted deep and in slack soil to get a higher-quality carrot harvest.

Peppers:
The Pepper is another of the greenhouse plants to cultivate. It grows most excellently, if it is provided with just a little shelter from the sun during the hottest part of the day. It will produce for you as long as the plants do not freeze. Most pepper varieties cultivate to a height of about 36 inches. The Peppers need to be planted 18 inches from each other in rows that are 24 inches apart.

Lettuce:
Lettuces are a popular green which are normally used freshly cut for salads and are easy to grow in the greenhouse. You can cut individual lettuce leaves as soon as the plant grows to a height of 3 to 4 inches. Harvest the complete plant by cutting at the bottom using a sharp knife when it has reached a height of about 8 inches. You should cut it just before using it in your salad.

I am sure that I will get numerous comments telling me that you can find many more plants which can be grown in a greenhouse, and that is true! These greenhouse plants are just few of the easiest ones for the novice to have a go at growing. I think that, if you can be successful at growing these, then it can only encourage you to go on and take a look at some of the more difficult fruit and vegetables to grow. The majority of greenhouse owners can grow slightly more difficult plants such as Cucumbers, Grapes etc. This is aimed at the beginner. After all, all of us have to start somewhere.
