How Do You Prepare Your Greenhouse for Spring?
Preparing your greenhouse for spring involves starting seeds and cuttings of both cold-tolerant and heat-loving plants, organizing space by moving or harvesting early crops, and timing indoor planting according to local frost dates. Efficient greenhouse management—rotating crops, repotting, and maximizing space with shelves—ensures continuous harvests and healthy plant growth throughout the season. Beyond growing food, a greenhouse provides a year-round sanctuary that nurtures both plants and gardeners.

Quick Answer:

When should I start planting in my greenhouse this spring to avoid leggy seedlings? Start seeds in mid-to-late March or later, ensuring they get plenty of light and cool temperatures to promote sturdy growth. How can I prevent and fix leggy tomato plants? Avoid early fertilizing, use fans to simulate natural wind for stronger stems, and if plants become leggy, transplant them deep to encourage root growth along the stem for healthier, robust tomatoes.
