Greenhouse Fruit and veg ideas

Can anyone tell me what fruit or veg is easy to grow in the greenhouse if any?

I probably won't be using it this year for flowers etc so rather than have it sitting empty I thought maybe I could grow something we could eat.

Any ideas out there?

 

Your starter for 10! Tomatos&Grapes.

I had one GOOD year

looks like a fantastic year roders.

 

What a good photo - and what fantastic grapes!! Nice-looking greenhouse too, would have loved wood - but too expensive when we needed 2 of them! :D Pity about the bloke in it, tho'

 

Damn it roders, now I will HAVE to get a bigger greenhouse!

Did your wife tell you to bend down while she photographed the plants she bad been growing? :D :D

Seriously though, I like the white tubes that the tomatoes are growing in, what are they?

P.S. I think you should have that picture framed!

 

The white tubes are aluminium rings Dag,they serve me well every year.
We made them when I used to build caravans.....
Years ago.

to answer your original Q, fruit to grow .....
FRUIT
Tomatoes ........ buy the plants end of May, pop in growbags, tether plants to roof, water as necessary and feed when flowers arrive, they need sun, and fresh air, no chills.
peppers ........ as above, tho they won t grow tall
Courgettes . grow like mad and fruit like billyo
VEG
early potatoes, plant "earlies" now, you can buy potato buckets which will help, you fill up with compost as plants grow
lettuce leaves .... growbag again tho you'r best to sow in pots then transplant
baby veg ... fun to have and quick to grow
... on that theme you can now buy ready prepared seeds, just desperate to germinate, this increases output from greenhouse significantly and is idea for beginners ,

Thanks for reply - you're a real "Lady" as I was panicking no one was actually going to answer me as such - lol!

I'll give it a go and tell you how I get on later.

 

Sorry cazza, your right we did all ramble on a bit there, good job TLG, was on the ball.
I blame roders for posting that pic of those fantastic grapes. :rolleyes:

 

but Roders did actually answer the question, unlike the rest of us, except TLG!

 

Yeah your right...
