…and winter wonders

In winter and without heat, you can force pots of new potatoes for Christmas, spring bulbs to flower in late winter and also grow hardy oriental greens – or, if you’ve the space, treat your family by growing grapes and figs. Your greenhouse will also allow you to eat fresh strawberries in May and again in November extending outside crops, which naturally fruit from late June to early August. Keep temperatures above freezing and you can also experiment and grow your own lemongrass, root ginger and citrus to use in your favourite Asian recipes.
