A REVIEW OF A GREEN HOUSE GARDEN

Green house gardening is becoming a very popular hobby among recreational gardeners. Un like outdoor plantings, a green house garden offers year-round gardening delight free from the difficulties found in outdoor gardens.

With a green house garden you can grow plants in winter, holdover garden plants to be used as parent plants for the next growing season, getting an early spring start for tender plants started from seed, improve your chances for a greater and more continuous supply of your favorite plants, easily grow small vegetables for use in winter, and to propagate and experiment with various plants as either a hobby or to develop new varieties. Whatever your plant passion a green house garden gets a 10 for functional, fun gardening.





Choosing a Site for Your Green House Garden
Choosing the right site for your green house garden is important and unless you want to go sliding downhill, you should choose a level and clean site in a relatively low-traffic area. You also want to put it in a location where lots of sunlight will be available during the winter months. It’s important to remember that the angle of the sun changes between summer and winter and the shadows that are cast by existing structures. Existing deciduous trees will allow for winter sun while evergreens will not.

You should also note that aligning your green house garden with the long side facing south will be beneficial for two reasons: that the angle of the roof is engineered for catching the maximum amount of the sun's rays, and if you end up using shade cloth on the roof of your green house garden during the warm days in spring and summer, you will need to then shade only one side, rather than both sides simultaneously.





Light is essential for any green house garden. The most important time for your green house garden to catch the valuable sun’s rays is in spring and fall, when the sun is lowest in the southern sky. Temperature, which is affected by the amount of sun your green house garden receives, is another issue to be considered, as the more sun provided, the more heat the greenhouse itself will then produce. This is important, as the temperature should be constantly regulated properly. The interior of your greenhouse should give you ample room for tasks such as potting plants and to move about comfortably and green house cleaning.

Green house gardens are a fun, enjoyable, and often profitable venture. With some basic information and proper technique, you too will rate your green house garden a 10.
