Why decide now and install your greenhouse before the end of 2024?
Summer is here, and with it the perfect time to plan your gardening projects, particularly the autumn harvest. If you are considering installing a greenhouse, it is crucial to make your decision as soon as possible.
Why start now?
Because autumn crops are prepared in summer, and to have your greenhouse or a proper vegetable garden ready to use, anticipation is essential.
Autumn, the ideal season for learning
Autumn is the perfect time to get familiar with home production, especially with an aquaponic greenhouse. After the summer holidays and back-to-school season, you are rested and more inclined to dedicate yourself to new projects such as gardening and home food production.
The temperatures are milder, neither too hot nor too cold, and the garden extends its season: no more summer nostalgia! Nature awaits you, but this time without extreme weather conditions: consistently ideal conditions for learning and experimenting with slow-growing vegetable crops.
This season also gives you the opportunity to improve your skills and master the subtleties of greenhouse cultivation. By taking the time to learn in autumn, you will be prepared and responsive to make the most of it in spring and summer. It is well-used time that will pay off when the growing season is in full swing.
Vegetables to grow this autumn
A greenhouse in autumn allows you to grow a variety of vegetables that thrive in cooler temperatures. Here is a list of what you can grow in autumn in your greenhouse.
Lettuce and young shoots, versatile crops: garden cress, Batavia lettuce, oak leaf lettuce, iceberg lettuce, Romaine lettuce, Rougette lettuce, lamb’s lettuce.
Chicory, an alternative to traditional lettuces: wild green chicory or red Verona endive.
Cabbages, to vary textures and dishes: broccoli cabbage, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage Pe Tsai, Mizuna cabbage, kohlrabi.

Herbs, to flavor your sauces and various dishes: winter chervil and parsley.
