CROPS GROWN IN A GREENHOUSE 

​Greenhouses provide a controlled environment that allows for year-round cultivation of a wide variety of crops. Some common crops grown in greenhouses include:
1. Tomatoes
  • Type: Fruit
  • Greenhouses help produce tomatoes in various climates, especially in colder regions. They can be grown hydroponically or in soil.
2. Cucumbers
  • Type: Fruit
  • Cucumbers are ideal for greenhouse farming as they need warmth and consistent humidity. They grow quickly and are popular in both hydroponic and soil systems.
3. Lettuce and Leafy Greens
  • Type: Leafy vegetables
  • Crops like lettuce, spinach, arugula, and kale thrive in greenhouses, especially in cooler temperatures. They grow quickly and are highly profitable.
4. Peppers (Bell and Hot)
  • Type: Fruit
  • Peppers require warm temperatures, making them well-suited for greenhouse cultivation. They are grown year-round in controlled environments.
5. Herbs
  • Type: Culinary and medicinal plants
  • Herbs like basil, mint, thyme, rosemary, cilantro, and parsley are commonly grown in greenhouses. They are well-suited for the controlled conditions and can be harvested frequently.
6. Strawberries
  • Type: Fruit
  • Greenhouses allow for early and late-season strawberry production by controlling temperature, humidity, and light conditions.
7. Flowers
  • Type: Ornamental
  • Flowers such as roses, orchids, lilies, and geraniums are frequently cultivated in greenhouses, offering protection from pests and weather fluctuations.
8. Melons
  • Type: Fruit
  • Crops like cantaloupe and watermelon can be grown in greenhouses, as they need a warm, controlled environment for optimal growth.
9. Microgreens
  • Type: Vegetables
  • Microgreens like radishes, peas, and sunflower greens are fast-growing crops and do well in small greenhouse environments.
10. Eggplants
  • Type: Fruit
  • Eggplants need consistent warmth and can benefit from greenhouse environments, leading to higher yields and a longer growing season.
11. Radishes
  • Type: Root vegetable
  • Radishes grow quickly and can be grown year-round in greenhouses. The controlled environment also helps prevent pest issues.
12. Carrots
  • Type: Root vegetable
  • While carrots are typically grown outdoors, they can be cultivated in greenhouses to extend the growing season and control conditions.
13. Beans (Pole and Bush varieties)
  • Type: Legumes
  • Greenhouses help beans grow by maintaining warmth and humidity, ensuring healthy crops and preventing early frost damage.
14. Cabbage and Brassicas
  • Type: Leafy vegetables
  • Brassicas such as broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage are grown in greenhouses to maintain optimal growing conditions, particularly for early spring and fall crops.
15. Avocados
  • Type: Fruit
  • Greenhouses are used in certain climates to grow avocados, especially in regions with colder winters, offering protection from frost.
These crops benefit from greenhouses because they help optimize growing conditions, minimize exposure to pests and diseases, and extend the growing season, enabling farmers to produce high-quality crops consistently.
