Here are some plants that can be grown reasonably well in a greenhouse during winter. Supplemental lighting may be required to lengthen hrs. of light, for instance HID Lighting (high pressure sodium and metal halide) and fluorescent lights. 

 

  • Excellent:   Basil, celery, dill, fennel, kale, leaf lettuce, 
    marjoram, mustard greens, oregano, parsley, spinach, Swiss  
    chard, turnip.                                              
  • Good:   Cabbage, collards, garlic, green onions, leek.  Cherry
    tomatoes and cucumbers (European type) are considered good,
    but require warm temperatures.                              
  • Fair:   Broccoli, edible pod peas.  Eggplant, large tomatoes, 
    and peppers are considered fair, but require warm           
    temperatures.                                               
  • Poor:   Beans, carrots, corn, radishes, turnips.  Melons and  
    squash are considered poor because they are naturally       
    pollinated by bees.  If hand pollinated, they can be listed 
    as fair.
