Everyone loves fresh, crisp, flavorful vegetables on their plate. You do not even have to travel south for them; you can simply grow them yourself in a greenhouse.
Vegetables are very often sown in a garden greenhouse. Classic vegetables are particularly popular. Think of: tomatoes, cucumbers, aubergines, peppers, carrots, peas, spinach, beans, leeks, celery, or broccoli.
In addition, you can enjoy a fresh salad by sowing iceberg lettuce, butterhead lettuce, or lamb’s lettuce yourself. Add some fresh tomatoes, carrots, and cucumber, and you are ready!
Besides the classics, cabbages are also frequently grown at home. You can opt for: red cabbage, white cabbage, kale, cauliflower, kohlrabi, pointed cabbage, and more. An ideal addition to your winter dishes.
Finally, you can also easily grow flavorings such as artichoke, garden cress, arugula (rocket), radishes, and fennel yourself in your greenhouse.
Delicious mouth-watering fruit
You can also recreate the perfect climate for fruit in your greenhouse. Because the sun warms the glass, it can become tropically warm inside the greenhouse, especially during the summer months.
Grow delicious classics yourself, such as strawberries, melons, grapes, nectarines, and peaches or figs. Or go for a tropical summer feeling with papaya or watermelon. Even citrus fruits such as lemons, oranges, and limes can grow perfectly in a greenhouse.
Herbs as the perfect finishing touch to a dish
Herbs do not necessarily have to be sown in a greenhouse, but they are protected here against excessive water and freezing temperatures. There are two different types of herbs: annuals and perennials.
Herbs that bloom only once include, for example: dill, basil, chives, coriander, parsley, marjoram, and chervil. Examples of herbs that bloom for several years are: sage, mint, rosemary, lavender, thyme, bay leaf, oregano, and tarragon.
Tip: You can plant herbs in a pot so that you can move them according to the amount of water and sunlight they need.
In addition to vegetables, fruit, and herbs, you can also provide a home for flowers or other plants in your garden greenhouse during colder periods.
