Before peppers and tomatoes take their place in the greenhouse, you can grow a lot of greens and root vegetables.

Summer residents have a large number of crop options for early sowing in a greenhouse.

Preparing the soil

First, you need to make sure that the soil in the greenhouse has warmed up. If the soil has not reached the desired state, then it is watered with boiling water.

Then the soil is covered with plastic film, after which you can begin sowing.

These plants are sown where peppers and tomatoes are planned to be planted. About a month passes from sowing to harvest. Thus, there is time to harvest and make room for seedlings.

The aisles between the rows remain empty. Thrifty summer residents also occupy these areas with plantings. Here they plant crops that need more time to ripen - about 2 months. For example, turnips, kohlrabi, beets, Chinese cabbage.
