Gardening in Your Greenhouse (Greenhouse Basics)

The title says it all. This is a very basic book about greenhouse gardening, I was especially disappointed in the limited number of plants described. I was hoping to see a little more info on plant propagation, but it just touched on a few, basic plants. Seemed a little top heavy with veggies talked about more than flowers. Another thing that bothered me was that some of the author's opinions went against everything I have ever seen in my experience. For example, ease of care in keeping kalanchoes blooming and alive. I have found them to be one of the easiest of plants to keep blooming. The author said they are rather hard to get to rebloom and that many people throw them away after blooming. They grow like weeds. I've had them for years and they rebloom constantly. They do extremely well in greenhouses. This was just one example of info I had a problem with. The really basic info presented and the kalanchoe differences made this a book I won't be consulting in the future.

I have had a greenhouse for 7 years, and it has functioned as a winter home for my tropical house plants and a storage area. I was so happy to read through Gardening in Your Greenhouse, because it goes beyond that. It has sections about being a temporary winter home for houseplants, but also it goes much farther, to include seed starting (who knew that you couldn't do it at certain times of the year?)and growing herbs and greenhouse friendly veggies. There are also tips about what not to try to grow and why. This is a very informative book.

Okay, I am new to gardening. If I want to learn about something new, I read a bunch of books on the subject before I begin. So after reading over a dozen books on vegetables, herbs, gardening, seed saving and botany, I got Mark Freeman's "Gardening in your Greenhouse." It answered all the questions that had been on my mind and gave me advice I didn't realize I needed until after I read it. I provided me with the information and confidence I needed to start planting all those seeds I had bought. A great reference for the novice and experienced gardener.

Good book. Lots of information that i found useful and will reference again. Starting a greenhouse in 2017 and learning what to do, expect, and learn some first to slow down my mistakes.

Lot of good info for starting a greenhouse gardening. Filled with muchneeded info. I use it at a reference book.

I got this as a Christmas gift for my brother who was planning on putting in a greenhouse in the spring. Well he did and he read through this entire book in a few days...loved it and still uses it as a guide.

I purchased a nice greenhouse last fall and this book helped me with many great hints and explanations to have already many different lettuce, spinach and peas growing. The newly started seedlings will go there soon and I am looking forward to have this year tomatoes. peppers and eggplants despite our cool summer.The down to earth, practical approach of the author is what I like.

If you're very new to Greenhouse gardening, then this book will be very helpful. It's just a good basic book on what you need to get started in all areas of your Greenhouse.

for the absolute beginner it is a great book, very detailed and comprehensive. Most of the information I knew from previous experience but will pass it on to my children who are just becoming interested in gardening

. Nice Book, but did not meet my needs for northern climatic conditions.

Love this book, Very helpful!
