What to grow in your greenhouse depends on where you're located, who you're feeding, and how you'll be growing your plants. What's the climate where you are? What will the temperature and humidity be like in your greenhouse? Certain crops thrive in cooler or hotter temperatures than others. What is your lifestyle like? Will you have the time and energy to devote to picky, delicate plants? What will your family be likely to eat? One of the most important parts of choosing what to grow will be figuring out what your family will truly eat and enjoy. Make it easy for your first harvest to succeed! This will make it much more likely that you continue growing and feel good about your accomplishments.
