Which vegetables can you grow in a greenhouse?

It is undeniable that fruit and vegetables taste best when they come from your own garden. By growing them yourself, you save money and enjoy optimal flavor and excellent vitamin retention. Curious about which vegetables you can grow throughout the year? Read here which ones are best to sow in each season.

Spring

In spring, temperatures begin to rise and birds start to sing. This immediately inspires the sowing of new plants. Spring is the ideal season for planting green vegetables such as peas, cucumbers, spinach, leeks, lettuce, and beans.

Other classics such as carrots, peppers, eggplant, chicory, beetroot, radishes, or kohlrabi can also be perfectly accommodated during this season.

These vegetables can then be harvested during the summer months.

Summer

Certain vegetables thrive better in a greenhouse than others. For example, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and cucumbers are popular choices for greenhouse cultivation, as these vegetables require heat and humidity to grow optimally.

Vegetables such as lettuce and carrots are also suitable for greenhouse cultivation. Because they require slightly less heat, they can be grown perfectly during the colder months.

Autumn

Autumn is a slightly less interesting period for sowing new crops. Nevertheless, it is the season par excellence for planting winter vegetables such as cauliflower, kale, and regular or winter spinach. Additionally, you can also sow radishes or lamb’s lettuce during this time of year.

These vegetables can be harvested during the winter period and used in your heartwarming dishes.

Winter

Do you enjoy heading into your greenhouse in winter to create new life? Then you can opt for fresh classics such as lettuce, carrots, radishes, spinach, peas, or leeks. Chervil, white pointed cabbage, and celeriac also perform well during the winter months.

These crops can then be harvested in the spring to make a fresh salad.
