Early harvest by cultivation in the greenhouse
The conditions in the cultivation greenhouse are crucial for determining whether the developing young plants produce good yields at harvest time. The maintenance effort is limited, the own rearing is fun and compared to purchased plants you save even a lot of money.
Gardening is a very near-natural hobby, which also helps to provide yourself with natural healthy fruits and vegetables almost throughout the year. A seed greenhouse is almost indispensable for this, especially if seeds are to be grown from seedlings of their own. In order for the home garden to turn into a thriving landscape punctually with the first spring sun rays, the gardening season begins with the cultivation in the greenhouse already in the first two months of the year.
Growing greenhouse in many sizes from mini to XXL
From plastic baskets with lids for window sills to mobile shelves with glass roofing for outdoors, the range of prefabricated houses offered by the garden trade for growers of young plants ranges. Particularly creative hobby gardeners also use discarded glass cabinets of their old kitchen furniture for rearing, or even construct a greenhouse with just a few pieces of material. The size depends solely on the need for fresh fruits and vegetables, everything else just needs to be functional.
Basic equipment: potting soil, cottages and seeds
Empty quark mugs or halved milk cartons are already sufficient in principle to start with the first steps as a young plant breeder. If you still have little gardening experience, you can get holdings from the garden trade, otherwise a mixture of compost, mother earth and a little sand is the ideal breeding ground for the rearing of your own young plants from self-acquired or purchased seeds.
What should first be grown in the greenhouse?
Kohlrabi, cucumbers and tomatoes as well as radish, peppers and lettuce can be sown at the end of January. If everything is not ready for harvest at the same time, sowing in several small quantities with breaks of one to two weeks is recommended. Most failures in self-grown plants occur when the seed that rises after a few days is watered too much. Depending on the location, it is enough, the plantlets and the soil moderate mist with the help of a disused spray bottlewithout forming puddles in the ground. As a small guide to optimal sowing times, a brief summary:

Tips
Sure is safe, does not apply to the cultivation of seedlings from seeds. That is, if one seed per plant is provided, it need not be three. Otherwise it should be pikiert after a week or two at the latest to remove the surplus seedlings.
