Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

Hi. I plan on building a permanent greenhouse to house my warm weather
crops so I can extend the growing season. Since planting space will be
at a premium, is it imperative that I maintain the 3 1/2 foot spacing
between the grow boxes? Can I get by with a 2-foot spacing?

Aisle width and plant spacing become even MORE critical in a greenhouse, because the greenhouse structure and covering block some % of the sunlight.

Therefore, if anything you should have WIDER aisles in a greenhouse than in the open garden. And if you do not have wider aisles you should plant your plants further apart.

Failing those two, you MUST prune accurately, wisely, and consistently, or you could have crop FAILURE.
