Planting Tomatoes in Your Rion Greenhouse

Most tomatoes will grow in any kind of soil that you have in your area and by adding compost and manure will also help the soil with nutrients. If you haven't started your tomatoes by seed then you will want to visit a garden nursery and buy already established tomato plants for your Rion greenhouse. Once you have your tomatoes carefully remove them from their containers and gently spread out the roots if they are at the bottom of the container and lay them in your pre-watered hole that you have made for it. Leave about two to three feet of space between the tomato plants, you don't want to over crowd plants in your greenhouse as this will lead to plant disease and unwanted garden pests. Make sure you water your tomato plants well and regularly to get nice full fruit. As your tomato plants grow you will need to stake them up to prevent breakage. Tomato cages work well for this. Another method is putting a above the tomato plants from one end of your greenhouse to the other and tie a string onto the tomato plant being careful not to tie it to tight and then tie the other end to the wire for support. Fertilizing your tomatoes on a regular basis will keep them growing healthy. Be sure to clean up after your self to avoid any clutter and put your gardening tools back on your storage sheds garden shelf. Enjoy your tomato planting!

Now that you have your Rion greenhouse set up you may want to start planning an outdoor garden for your hardier vegetables that can tolerate colder nights such as potatoes, peas, carrots, beets, and broccoli. Your greenhouse is probably already in a sunny location and if you have the room beside your greenhouse and your garden storage building then that would be the ideal place to have your garden with everything together in one spot saving you time and energy from hauling gardening tools from your greenhouse to your garden. If you do not have the space for an open garden then box gardens on the sides of your greenhouse is also ideal. The box gardens then also get a little extra heat from the greenhouse sides. Depending on what you plan to put in your garden will also determine the space needed. Potatoes for example take allot of room as they grow out wide and need hilling. Peas on the other hand can be grown up on a wire fence saving room. Or you may find that you would like a garden and some boxed containers besides your greenhouse. So plan out what vegetables you would like to grow this year and have fun getting your garden built.
