<\/a>- 1. Which plants need a longer growing season (to flower or fruit)<\/em> than they can get in your zone? Will starting them in the greenhouse be enough to overcome that limitation?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- 2. Which plants or sprouts fit in pots sizes I can manage. \u00a0Similarly, are those sizes that are reasonable to fit in my greenhouse?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- 3. Which plants seem to germinate more erratically? \u00a0Planting these in the greenhouse allows for more organized placement in beds when they are transplanted.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- 4. Which plants benefit from a more controlled environment when germinating? \u00a0Some seedlings are\u00a0prone to suffer outside due to weather or insects. \u00a0So, which will have their survival enhanced by a greenhouse beginning?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- 5. Which sprouts tend to get lost or accidentally weeded out in the real garden, unless I grow them to a large enough size in the greenhouse first?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- 6. What can I plant ahead that keeps me from buying plants at the nursery?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- 7. What transplants most easily?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- 8. What seed is expensive, such that controlled planting in the greenhouse gets me more sprouts for my money?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- 9. What plants might I want to give as gifts? \u00a0This is much easier to do from a pot.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- 10. What makes me happy to plant from seed?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Examples, like peppers and squash<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
For example, squash may be fun to sprout in pots, but they get large so quickly that growing them indoors gets tricky. One the other hand, I have never had peppers sprout spontaneously in my garden, so I am more inclined to start them indoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thyme is one of those herbs <\/strong>that stays teeny for so long. I don’t plant in standard vegetable garden rows, so it is good to let it grow to a visible size before putting it outdoors amongst the landscaping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dahlias are on the large size, but they are so much more cost effective to start from tubers myself. Also, they bloom sooner if I get them going indoors first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
