Greenhouse eggplants are challenging technical crops to grow, as they are susceptible to pests. However, growing eggplants in greenhouses makes them so productive and early! Having them week after week leads to customer loyalty and great incomes. It is a nice addition in color to a booth.
Peppers are very popular, so it’s a great idea to consistently have them early and late in the season. Growing them in a greenhouse is a great way to achieve that. This module will show you how to give the peppers the right conditions to maximize their productivity.
Baby ginger is one of the most lucrative crops per unit area and it is highly dependent on heat, that is why we grow it in our heated greenhouse. It is low-maintenance, but high-yielding crop. The rarity of baby ginger provides a lot of excitement to customers.
Growing pole beans in a greenhouse is ideal because they can be trellised on the structure and grown earlier and later in the season. As they are so popular you will not have difficulty selling them. The vertical trellis offers fast picking, high yields and longer harvest periods.
