what can you grow in a greenhouse ?

hi folks

hope your all well and enjoying the sunshine ( at last )

quick question i have just bought a pop up green house from ebay 2m x 2m bargin :D

just wondered if any of you could spare the time to just let me know what i can grow in it next year ?

i know about toms and cucumbers but wondered if there was anything else.

many thanks

 

oh is it ok to put spuds in containers in there thinking i might get a quicker crop ??


thanks again :D

 

hi catwoman, i grow pots in pots or half growbags stood on end, and i get a good crop every time.(thats if i grow them in the g house or outside).so i would give it a go nothing to lose.

thanks dave

i have been doing a search all over the net but just keep coming up with toms and cucs all the time i will put some spuds in there though :D

might try chillis and peppers again next yr they just starting to go red now at last but the weather has really bashed them as i had to put them outside that many bits and bobs dropping off them .

but if i leave them in there all next year they should be alot better

might give melon a wurl too !!

 

You could start your spuds in the GH cattwoman and move them outside when the weather warms up. I did that with ours this year and have just finished emptying the last of the containers.

A melon should be fine - we've just eaten an Ogen melon we grew in a polytunnel and it was really delicious.

 

What about one of Pete's Pepinos?...I have several raised from seeds that came from a cutting he sent me...they are so easy and the fruit is very nice.

I'll give you a cutting if you want.

 

I'm trying Aubergines this year as well as sweet peppers so far so good, fruits are forming very well Toms and cucumbers are also doing well

 

thanks paladin but i think it might be a bit hard for me that one sounds very nice though :D

 

I don't like the flavour of melons, but when I walk into the greenhouse on the day one is ripe the fantastic smell knocks my socks off.

You can start seeds of most kinds, flowers or vegetable, in trays and they will get an early start over those planted outside.

 

What is a pop up greenhouse? I would love a greenhouse but the glass ones are sooo expensive .....
