Some winter pickings from the greenhouse

Pretty darn nice considering the time of year!
What else have you got that is nearly ready?
Ever tried sweet corn? I know it takes lots of room for not much corn...It's just my favorite thing!
Green beans are as well. Any of those?

Have some onions in a big rectangular tub that are growing rather well. Time to start seedlings for early transplant in the garden. Have entirely too many damn flowers and house plants in there. Some will need moved to the house as the seedlings start growing. Can't understand WHY we need to save all these geraniums and things that are not for eating.
I don't think one can get enough sun in the winter for corn.
I have tried it and got mostly a lime green spiney plants with no success for ears. Perhaps the miniature versions would work.
Beans ought to do OK. Low yield unless you have flies, other insects, or can pollinate manualy.
Peppers will definitely work in the green house as will cucumbers and several sqaush.
You probably "shocked" them going from cold to warm. Put them in a cool place with indirect light for a week. Cover them with a clear plastic bag. Open the bags once a day for a short while to prevent fungal growth.
Wife has chives and some other herbs growing but they were brought in the greenhouse back in late September. We had good luck with beets last year inside. Carrots grew OK but it might have just been the variety that kept them small. Some we transplanted got huge out in the garden.
Yes, remove any wilted or yellowing. The plants are over extending the root system which likely lost some viability when they got cold.
Prune back vigorously.
Cover with plastic bags to reduce evaporation stress
Put in low light to temporarily reduce metobolic stress
And this will let the roots heal and catch up to smaller plant demands.
Place in sunny locations and they should take off.
Caution, Oregano does not like it's roots to be in water. Be careful not to overwater.
