Hi, I'm buying a small greenhouse from HomeDepot, and would like to |
I think once you start greenhouse growing, you'll never want to stop! I started with a small greenhouse (8-10') and graduated up every few years. I now manage a commercial greenhouse! Greenhouse growing is contagious! Just to get you started, here are some of the plants produced for sale during the calendar year: January - spring bulbs, azalea, primula, cineraria, calceolaria, cyclamen February - roses, spring bulbs, oxalis, cineraria, calceolaria, primula, cyclamen, azalea, lilies March - hydrangea, kalanchoe, cineraria, calceolaria, primula, cyclamen, azalea, lilies, bedding plants April - spring bulbs, azalea, lilies, gloxinia, heimalis begonia, bedding plants, flowering baskets May - hydrangea, azalea, kalanchoe, lilies, gloxinia, potted roses, late flowering bulbs, geranium, new guinea impatiens, bedding plants, flowering baskets June - gloxinia, heimalis, begonia, foliage, hibiscus, gerbera, potted bedding plants July - gerbera, gloxinia, streptocarpus, heimalis begonia August - hibiscus, azalea, heimalis begonia, foliage plants, field chrysanthemum September - foliage plants, gloxinia, azalea, hibiscus, ornamental pepper, field chrysanthemum October - hibiscus, foliage, flowering cabbage, flowering kale, cyclamen November - poinsettia, cyclamen, Christmas cactus December - poinsettia, Christmas cactus, cyclamen, heimalis begonia Obviously, if they're in bloom, they'll sell very well. You'll need to start your plants this summer for sale in the fall and winter. Once you've decided on a crop for your greenhouse, do a websearch and I'll bet you'll find growing information tailor-made for growing in a greenhouse. Best wishes with your new hobby! |
