Briefly about the greenhouse

A greenhouse or a greenhouse (although there is a difference, but more on that later) is an indispensable thing for every gardener. They help plants, even when the weather does not favor them, to grow in comfortable conditions. What is the difference between a greenhouse and a greenhouse? The greenhouse can be very small, portable, in which only the soil and the plant will be placed. A greenhouse is a separate building, like a barn, in which heating systems are arranged.

Greenhouse actions

It seems that nothing is simpler in physics than the principle of the greenhouse effect. It is clear to everyone: the heat of the sun, which penetrates through glass or other material of the greenhouse, remains inside the structure and creates favorable conditions for seedlings. But isn't this action harmful to plants? It is enough to control the temperature inside the greenhouse. It is easy to do, you just have to "prepare the cart in winter." To prevent plants "from overheating in the sun", throw snow on the ground inside the greenhouse or greenhouse in winter. Well, do not forget to water the plants in the summer (preferably with warm water).

Greenhouse varieties

Greenhouses are of two types (although a third can be distinguished): adjacent to the building and detached from it, as well as miniature (a convenient solution for a city apartment). There are several more types of greenhouse construction: arched, polygonal, single-slope and gable. Everything is more or less clear, and there will certainly be plenty to choose the perfect greenhouse.

What can be grown in a greenhouse

Everyone should know this "set" of vegetables in a greenhouse: cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers. Yes, someone can plant other plants in the greenhouse, but more often than not, it is these vegetables that grow best together in a greenhouse environment. The same environment and soil are suitable for them, so the yield is large, and there are no problems when transplanting seedlings into a greenhouse. If you are very much afraid for the quality of the fruit, then you can separate the varieties with plastic wrap (you should get something like a curtain).

When to transplant in a greenhouse

No one has an exact date. Each gardener is based on his own experience: someone says that it is necessary to replant in mid-April, someone calls the May holidays as the day of the most balanced weather. In general, transplanting is correct when, firstly, the seedlings have grown stronger and reached certain sizes (for example, for pepper it is 18-20 cm, and for cucumber 12-16) and, secondly, when the air and, accordingly, the soil has warmed up to the desired temperature (not less than 12-15˚С). Some gardeners also look at the lunar calendar and determine the transplant according to folk signs, but this is everyone's business. In any case, be sure to look at two parameters: growth and temperature.

The difference between greenhouse fruit and "street"

And the final question, is it worth installing a greenhouse or a greenhouse and planting seedlings there. Isn't it easier to transplant everything to the street? And how does an ordinary fruit taste different from a greenhouse one? Everything is very simple. If you want to quickly collect the desired harvest from the garden, plant seedlings in a greenhouse. If you want to make the most delicious salad from fresh and homemade vegetables, plant it in a regular garden bed. The thing is that in a greenhouse vegetables will receive more moisture, but less nutrients, from which their taste will be less expressive, but because of comfortable and unchanging conditions, the fruit will ripen faster.
