A small greenhouse can be used indoors for a vegetable garden during the coldest days of winter. A small greenhouse can also work outdoors for starting your seedlings in early spring before the ground is ready for use. It can also be for extending your summer vegetable garden well into the winter months indoors. A greenhouse can also give you the opportunity to try new varieties of fruits and vegetables that you have never grown before. A very small greenhouse, also referred to as a windowsill greenhouse, is a Transparent Plastic Boxes that will sit on an extended kitchen window.
Some of these windows are referred to as a greenhouse window because they extend beyond the walls of the house and have three window walls and a window on top. These greenhouses are also known as mini greenhouses and are available in starter kits which include grow lights, if you need them, the starting medium and include small containers. Many of these kits are available with transparent covers to keep in the moisture. You just need to remember that if you are placing it in a kitchen greenhouse window behind your sink that you need to be able to reach it for watering. Another version of a small greenhouse is a unit of shelves that resemble an open bookshelf.
This unit comes equipped with a grow light for each individual shelf and is classified as a grow rack. This style of "greenhouse" is not capable of controlling the temperature or the levels of humidity limiting you on what can be grown. This type of grow rack is good for adding extra lighting. There are other grow racks that are enclosed in plastic that will help control the humidity and temperature and also have grow lights for each shelf. These greenhouses come with 2, 3, or 4 shelves for using on kitchen counters or standing on the floor. These smaller greenhouses are good for starting vegetable seeds, flower seeds and for hardening off plants for transplanting in the backyard garden.
