Gardening enthusiasts in the more interesting temperate climates
and any place where there are four seasons are faced with great
benefits as well as challenges. Because of the four seasons,
gardeners are blessed with huge plant varieties conducive for
planting on one or two of the seasons. In the period of a year,
they are given an opportunity to plant varieties that must grow
in cooler climates, and take advantage of the sunny summer to
plant those that would require more exposure to the sun.
However, the seasonality of plant varieties may pose challenges
to those who would rather grow plants continuously, regardless
of season. This is especially true for flower and fruit
varieties that require continuous sunlight for an entire year,
for example, or fruit and vegetable perennials that do not bear
fruit and instead shrivel up in the winter.
The response to these challenges is the creation of greenhouses
or greenhouse facilities. A greenhouse is a structure made of
glass or plastic that stores up the sun's rays in order to
simulate the temperatures in the spring all year long inside. By
storing up heat inside a greenhouse, it allows individuals to
grow plants continuously even while winter rages hard outside
it. Greenhouses also go by the name glasshouses or hothouses.
The glass or plastic used in the construction of greenhouses are
specially designed to have transmission qualities that will
allow for the sun's ultraviolet rays to be stored inside the
greenhouse facility, providing a warm atmosphere inside, and in
effect, warming the plants and the soil. A greenhouse leaves
little or no openings through which the air heated by the stored
sunlight can escape; leaving a small window or hatch open in a
greenhouse will lead to a drastic drop in temperatures.
