In this edition of the Lincoln County Gardner, guest host Larry King talks with Master Gardener Tom Green about how he uses his new greenhouse. They share tips and tricks for growing vegetables in the greenhouse environment.

Here are some samples of plants growing in Larry King's hoop-house style greenhouse (photos courtesy of Larry King). Featured image of tomato starts, also by Larry King.
It's a big raised bed, but 3 zuchini plants will fill up this space in no time. Note the drip lines. They are on a timer that will provide just the right amount of water with no waste.
These determinate tomatoes got 6 feet tall even before they started setting fruit. Things can get big and tall in a greenhouse. Plan accordingly.
Even tender warm-weather plants like basil can be started in an unheated greenhouse. Visible beneath the planting tray is a thermostat-controlled heating mat to ensure the soil stays warm. These were grown for the Lincoln County Master Gardner Plant Sale (held in May every year).
Of course, your greenhouse is not limited to vegetables. They're a great place to overwinter succulents and wonderful for starting your hanging baskets and annual garden flowers early.
