Planning a garden & greenhouse: which vegetables should I put where?

I use the greenhouse for the spring to keep plants in high sunlight and not freezing. You need to find which plants do well at which temperatures. Right now I have spinach planted and onions and carrots in trays awaiting transplant. In the house I have tomatoes, peppers and lettuce as well as plants which need higher temps. You need to schedule which plants are going into garden, greenhouse and house so you know what to start when.

The tropicals such as tomatoes, peppers, etc can be started 4-6 weeks before last frost in the greenhouse. Also to get a really early start.......which is past now, you can plant the kole crops: cabbage, etc and set outside before last frost.

Some plants hate being transplanted and are best sown directly outside: carrots, beets......basically the root vegetables.

Growing in a greenhouse in summer is very difficult due to heat build up. They are better early and late season and over wintering locations and let the plants grow outside during the main growing season.

Friend got a greenhouse to grow tomatoes as they: live in mountains with limited growing season and they have deer that just love the garden. All his plants burned up in the greenhouse over summer as the temps, even with shade cloth and ventilation, got too hot.

Remember in a greenhouse, an insect population does not have natural predators to hold down the numbers so you may find yourself fighting more bugs. Initially not as the dastardly critters haven't found their way in..........yet.

You can extend the season for lettuces and herbs by growing them in the greenhouse in spring and autumn. You could grow sweet peppers and chilli peppers
