Greenhouse Gardening

Greenhouses are an essential piece of equipment for the avid gardener though not everyone has the space for one in their garden. They allow us to start seeds earlier in the year, grow less hardy and specialist plants as well of coarse for ripe juicy tomatoes.

There are mini greenhouses available made of plastic which are suitable for the smaller garden, giving your seedlings that extra protection from the cold at the beginning of the year. For those with the space the choices are endless from traditional cedar framed to aluminium both with their own pro’s and cons.

Hygiene is a very important factor as in this protected environment pests and diseases can thrive in the warm humid air that a greenhouse provides.
