Book

"Thinking of buying a greenhouse but aren't sure what to grow in it, or how? Or maybe you've inherited a garden with a greenhouse, but haven't got a clue what to do with it? Whatever your journey to growing under glass, this book gives a clear, inspiring, and brilliantly illustrated approach to all things greenhouse. A protected growing environment provides shelter and warmth to a broad range of tender plants, both edible and ornamental, and can open up a fascinating new world of gardening. Starting plants off early under glass also enables you to extend the growing season, providing additional weeks and months of homegrown, sustainable produce to enjoy and flowers to admire. From initial planning considerations and ongoing maintenance to all the exciting and unusual plants that can be grown; from overwintering exotics, to hardening off seedlings and protecting summer crops against pests and diseases, there is a wealth of information to be shared. And you don't need a large garden: with a patio greenhouse, cold frame, and cloches, anyone with outside space can enjoy growing under glass"-- Amazon.com.
