As the frost gets heavier and heavier and I watch my thermometer in the greenhouse drop, I know I need to start using my heat. I live out in the “boonies” as some would say, and when the cold weather finally decides to come it is here to stay. Between finishing out my outdoor gardens and starting plants in the greenhouse for winter I have found there are quite a few plants and vegetables that do well in the greenhouse during this cooler time.

When you control the environment you control how warm or cold the air is in the greenhouse. This discussion is about warmer weather crops that you can grow in the greenhouse. A warmer weather climate would be fifty degrees or above.
