Hi all,

I am new to the forum, new to gardening and to greenhouses. So I have a lot of catching up to do. The greenhouse is 9 by 15 and iron with glass, I hope to grow vegetables in there.

So far from browsing I understand that in the greenhouse temperature can be up to 10 degrees higher than outside and heat loss is mostly at the bottom.

Is there an upper temperature that I should avoid? What is good to grow inside?
I live in the Netherlands and I think that compares to hardiness zone 7(a), but I am not sure. We do have wet and cold winters with some snow and freezing weather and summers can be wet and cool too, but temperatures can go up to 35 C in summer, which would be an exception. In general it is around 20 C in summer.

The garden I have is on a complex so it has plenty sun, nothing blocking the sun. I also have a good size part of the garden left, for outside planting.

I am open to any wisdom you can hand me to make my greenhouse/vegetable gardening a success.

thanks
Annelies
