Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

You bought the greenhouse. Now turn the empty space into your first useful harvest.

So You Bought a Greenhouse is a practical first-season guide for anyone who already has an ordinary unheated greenhouse but is unsure what to grow, when to begin, or how to manage the changing conditions under cover.

Start small, learn the greenhouse, and grow with purpose.

Instead of filling every bed with plants, you will learn how to measure usable space, track temperature and light, manage ventilation, prepare soil or containers, and choose a crop that actually fits the season ahead.

Inside, you will learn how to:

- Inspect and organize an existing greenhouse before planting

- Understand daytime heat, cold nights, frost risk, light, and ventilation

- Choose between three manageable first-season growing routes

- Grow lettuce, radishes, compact tomatoes, basil, or Swiss chard

- Prepare soil beds and containers without unnecessary amendments

- Start seeds or establish purchased transplants successfully

- Build a watering and ventilation routine you can realistically maintain

- Recognize common problems before reaching for fertilizer or pesticides

- Harvest vegetables and herbs at the right stage

- Review the first season and make the next one easier

Real layouts and examples make the process easier to follow.

Measured greenhouse plans, planting layouts, temperature records, container calculations, troubleshooting examples, and a complete first-season case study show how the decisions fit together from an empty greenhouse to food on the table.

Whether your greenhouse arrived yesterday or has been sitting unused for months, this book will help you create a manageable first season, avoid unnecessary purchases, and build a growing routine you understand well enough to repeat.
