What are Greenhouses used for?
In the spring greenhouses are the ideal place to start all them seeds off as they are protected from the spring frost. You can also purchase heaters for your greenhouse to keep everything warmer and speed it up.
In the UK greenhouses are used mainly for growing all your fruit in. These are mainly tomatoes and cucumbers. If you are feeling a bit more optimistic you could try growing melons. These are a lot easier than you actually think with great rewards in the juiciest of fruit.
In the winter they can be used for putting all your pots in to stop the cold weather getting to them especially the snow or frost as this could damage your plants or even kill them off. You would not want that as it can be quite expensive replacing your favorite plants and bushes.
Greenhouses are an ideal thing to have in any garden.
