The best vegetables to grow in a greenhouse, are ones you will sell or eat, and which also thrive well indoors: tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, strawberries & many more. Take advantage of cool-season plants such as cool-season greens in winter, heat-sensitive crops like cucumbers in summer, and heat-conserving vegetables such as tomatoes in the cooler season. If your area has an adequate water supply, your garden will be very healthy. For a successful yield, the soil must be fertile, well-drained, well-rotated with lots of drainage and well-mowed. You need about four feet of space for each plant, plus a foot between each plant and the nearest object such as a fence or wall.

Most plants require a minimum of six hours of direct sunlight to produce good quality fruits and vegetables. However, some plants only require four hours of sunlight, while others may need five or six hours. Some plants can even do better if planted in pots, rather than growing vegetables in a traditional greenhouse.

Your choices for the vegetables you want to grow depends largely on the size of your garden. Larger pots will hold more leaves; therefore, they will produce more vegetables. If you are a beginner, start with a small pot, since growing vegetables in large pots is not exactly an easy task. However, you can always add more plants later on. Also, keep in mind that herbs do not like direct sunlight. If you live in a location where there is very little sunlight, you may consider planting both herbs and vegetables in a separate structure such as a dark green house, or grow them inside a pot on a sunny window.

You should also make sure that your vegetable greenhouse has the right kind of humidity for the type of plants you have. Humidity plays a crucial role in plant growth, because it helps maintain the health of the roots as well as the quality of the crop you will harvest from them. If you place your garden in a place with low humidity levels, it is more likely that the vegetables will have stems and leaves that wilt quickly. On the other hand, a greenhouse with high humidity levels will help preserve the vegetables’ color and texture. You can easily check the moisture level in the air by installing a hygrometer in the greenhouse.

Different vegetables require different temperatures during their growing seasons. If you plan to plant vegetables in a traditional greenhouse, you will probably find that peas and beans do well when they are planted in a chilly environment during early spring. Green beans can be planted about six to eight weeks before the first frost in the area. On the other hand, cucumbers will grow best when they are planted about a month before the first frost in an area with mild temperatures. You should keep in mind that some vegetables, such as beets, need you to water them early in the season, while other vegetables may not need any watering at all.

Another thing you should consider when planning to plant vegetables is how to prepare the soil and the location. When planting seeds, place the seeds at the bottom of the hole, as close to the surface as possible. It is important that you leave about one to two inches of space between the seed and the dirt. Once the soil is moist, spread compost over the entire surface, making sure to mulch the layers together. For the best harvest in late summer or early fall, plant your crop next to weeds. You will need to use a rototiller to take care of tough weeds in the later months of planting.

Check your crops each month to see if they are growing properly. If you find that the leaves are turning yellow or losing their color, do not harvest yet. Wait for them to recover from heat and humidity indoors, then check for color. The vegetables you decide to harvest should be in optimum conditions; this means that they are in a place where there are adequate moisture and heat but are not too hot or dry. This will ensure that your plants get the best chances for a successful yield.

Gardening is very rewarding, but it can also be tiring at times. When you begin planting your crops in your greenhouse, make sure you plan the garden so that it grows to your needs instead of the other way around. Take your time in deciding where to place your garden beds. If you have a small backyard, think about planting on a raised bed; if space is limited, consider a raised trellis. Vegetables need plenty of sunlight, so be sure to plant them in a spot that gets at least six hours of morning sunshine each day, especially if you’re planting vegetables that will be eaten raw.
