At this time of year, the air here can warm up to 12-15 degrees Celsius, while outside it will be no more than 7-9 degrees Celsius.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told what will grow in a greenhouse under such conditions.
