A mini greenhouse is a great addition to any garden. it comes with the extra protection of growing under glass allowing a much wider variety of plants to be raised, and the growing season to be greatly extended. A 4 tier mini greenhouse can give you so much more control over your garden, allowing you to over-winter your favorite plants, grow from seed and take cuttings.
As well as practical advantages, mini greenhouse growing is a most satisfying and relaxing hobby, providing plenty of enjoyment without the full scale commitment of a large greenhouse.
What can you grow in a mini greenhouse?
With a little planning even the most compact of Mini greenhouses can be full of plants all year round.
Spring
In the early spring the mini greenhouse could be full of young plants, growing on ready for later transplanting into the garden. Many garden centers offer tiny plug plants at the very start of the season. These are able to be grown on inside the small greenhouse. Many plants, especially salad crops, can be grown direct from seed, in fact with a mini greenhouse you can look forward to fresh salads pretty much all through the year.
Summer
In the summer, the small greenhouse is capable to be used for protected crops such as tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers. As other plants are planted out, the space left can be used for home grown Mediterranean crops.
Autumn
In autumn time cuttings from fuchsias and geraniums can be taken to provide plant material for next year. Salad crops such as lettuce are suggested to be planted in the small greenhouse to ensure a steady supply during the winter months. Vegetables such as spring cabbage can be grown on ready for planting out.
Winter
During the winter months, the small greenhouse can be used to over-winter more delicate plants such as geraniums and fuchsias. Bulbs for winter decoration can also be brought on in the indoor mini greenhouse.
