| I would like to know what are the ideal conditions to have in a greenhouse for different vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, honey melons and others? Thank you |
| If you want to grow these crops in the ground during the spring and summer, a plastic film covered hoophouse, with ventilation fans, is a good choice. If you want to keep things blooming and fruiting through the winter, you'll need a double-glazed structure, supplemental light, and heat, which can be expensive where winter temps are cold and daylight short. If you are doing research for a commercial venture, contact your provincial government offices for planning help. They can also help you locate wholesale distributors of agricultural products.
