Happy New Year From Vitavia

We hope you’ve all had a wonderful break with your loved ones and are feeling well rested and raring to go for 2023!

January is always a bit challenging when it comes to your garden as you look outside to the cold and wet and all is looking a little bleak. However, that is where we can help! A greenhouse is a great asset for gardening during the winter months, as it allows you to extend the growing season and protect your plants from harsh weather conditions.

Here are a few tips for using a greenhouse during the winter:

• Insulation is key. To keep your greenhouse warm during the colder months, it’s important to make sure that it’s well insulated.
• Keep it warm. Heating your greenhouse is important during the winter to keep your plants warm. Keep in mind that different plants have different temperature requirements, so you’ll need to tailor the heat to the plants you’re growing.
• Ventilation is important. Even though it’s important to keep your greenhouse warm, it’s also important to have good ventilation to prevent condensation and mould growth. Make sure that your greenhouse has vents that can be opened and closed as needed.
• Water wisely. In the winter, the soil in your greenhouse will dry out more slowly than it does in the summer, so it’s important to be mindful of how much water you’re giving your plants. Overwatering can lead to mould and disease, so be sure to check the moisture level of the soil before watering.
  

By following these suggestions, you can hopefully create a warm and hospitable environment for your plants during the winter months. With the right care, you’ll be able to enjoy fresh fruits, vegetables, and flowers even when it’s cold and snowy outside.

So here’s to a happy and healthy New Year with lots of gardening and growing!
