Hi from France,
I'm at last getting my greenhouse (45x15 ft.) sorted out, with raised beds down both sides, but I'm running out of ideas for what to grow in there. I've got tomatoes, courgettes, carrots, lettuce, cucumber even a bed full of gladiolus for cut flowers. Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Cheers for now,
Ken S.

gosh - never thought I needed a greenhouse in France, but we are in the south.
In England I use my (cold) greenhouse for delicate things before they go out in the garden - currently pelargonium cuttungs, delphinium seedlings, and many other seedlings. I also overwinter my echeverias and non-frostghardy plants in there. Yours sounds more like a commercial polytunnel! My tomatoes, lettuce etc are all out in the garden.
Are you protecting your veg from heat or cold?
Sweet peppers, aubergines, chillies, basil, some of the more tender varieties of courgette. Someone once asked me what I grow in my greenhouse and my reply was "ratatouille"!
