What to Grow in a Small Greenhouse for Beginners?
If your new Greenhouse is set up, the next step is to see what you first start growing in it and that in itself can be a daunting task, especially if you’re not well informed on the matter.
Here’s a list of a few options any beginner should try:
Radishes
Radish is ideal for new gardeners, particularly those who aren't very experienced as they grow very quickly, often in a matter of just a few days. Even in the dead of winter, you can grow radishes in your own greenhouse without much difficulty. It is easy for a beginner to overstock on them, so make sure to leave enough room in the greenhouse for proper production.
Peas
Peas are a cool-season crop that thrives in cold weather, making them an ideal vegetable to grow in a winter greenhouse. The greenhouse provides a healthy growing atmosphere for pea plants as well as pest and insect protection.
Strawberries
Strawberries are one of the most common fruits in the world, which comes as no surprise. Their delectable sweet flavor is energizing, and they are high in nutrients. The growing season, on the other hand, is very brief. That is why growing strawberries in a greenhouse is a smart idea if you want to have a fresh supply of these delicious berries all year.
Garlic
Garlic is one of the most stress-free crops someone can grow in a greenhouse or garden, so planting it is surprisingly easy. It is traditionally grown on the shortest day of the season and harvested on the longest day. However, with a greenhouse, you won't have to wait for the seasons to change.
Lettuce
Lettuce is an excellent winter greenhouse plant. This leafy plant prefers a cool climate and as a result, you won't need to heat your greenhouse as much in the winter as you would for other plants.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are the cream of the crop for gardeners. And a greenhouse's tropical and humid environment is perfect for tomato planting. You can easily have several harvests yearly with the use of good lighting and proper temperature control in your greenhouse.
