 The
Greenhouse Gardener
A greenhouse can be a garden's greatest asset: its nucleus and
powerhouse. There are many ways of using a greenhouse and a
gardener can adopt one or all of them. In spring, you can start
all kinds of young plants from seed; raise tender perennials
to fill gaps in the garden; give young vegetable plants like
beans and sweetcorn a head start; sow early lettuce while the
soil is too sticky to work outdoors. During spring and summer,
you can raise greenhouse crops like tomatoes, cucumbers, aubergines
and chillis. You'll be able to overwinter tender plants such
as bananas and cannas. And the greenhouse can be a showcase
full of beautiful, unusual and exotic plants. Trained at Kew
and for many years Glasshouse Supervisor at the RHS Garden at
Wisley, Anne Swithinbank is the expert on greenhouse gardening,
and in this book she comprehensively describes the techniques
that will allow you to greatly expand the growing capabilities
of your garden.
