What can I grow in a greenhouse?
Growing of cultivated plants in greenhouses is especially important for the middle zone of Russia, as well as its northern territories. Here the summer is not always hot, the heat is usually not enough to ripen the fruit.
In this case, the question of what can or can not begrow in greenhouses, irrelevant. On the contrary, it is difficult to imagine a culture that can not be grown in a greenhouse, since practically any plant can be grown under glasshouse conditions. Here, the compatibility of plants nearby is more acceptable, because most gardeners and truck farmers do not have the opportunity to build their own greenhouse for each crop. In addition, it is necessary to set up a crop rotation in order to make the most of the greenhouse's possibilities to deliver fresh vitamins to the table. In this case, we are not talking about greenhouses that are artificially heated all year round, which can yield several crops during this time. Talk about structures that are cleared of snow with the first warm rays of the spring sun. As a result of spring solar activity, the soil in the seasonal greenhouses dries quickly and warms up. It's time to plant the seedlings of vegetables and flowers, which will later migrate to the open ground. It is best to do this not in greenhouse beds, but in separate boxes that can be easily moved from place to place, placed on shelves, etc. Parallel, you should dig up the soil of the beds, fertilize them and plant the early greens: onions, parsley, dill, salad , radish, etc. Necessarily on top of the bed should be sprinkled with fine sand or humus and close the place of planting with a film. On the seedlings, you can plant the seeds according to your own preferences: white cabbage, beetroot, squash, pumpkin, zucchini, cucumber, tomato, etc. When the threat of colds passes, many of these crops will go to the open ground, but some of them, for example, cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants and peppers it is advisable to leave it in the greenhouse. With this you need to remember that cucumbers love heat and humidity, and tomatoes need regular airing. In order to create the necessary conditions for each culture, the greenhouse can be partitioned with a film. In the second half of the summer, you can drop another portion of greenery and late radish varieties here. That's how the hothouse from early spring until late autumn will supply its owners with tasty, organic vegetables and greens.
