I am in the process of moving allotment plots, and will inherit a greenhouse.
If you could suggest one book that deals with growing in a greenhouse, which one would it be?

I thought I was lucky getting a bigger shed, but a greenhouse - that's a nice :)
I've got an oldish Anne Swithinbank book which I thought was helpful, it's cheap as chips second-hand on Amazon.

No hesitation in recommending 'Vegetables & Herbs for the greenhouse and polytunnel' by Klaus Laitenberger.

Really helpful in getting started for me and I believe he contributed to the 'jobs in the polytunnel' section of this very website!

Hessayon booklets cover a wide range of gardening topics which includes growing in a greenhouse and are a good starter for anyone new because they just give the basics which I think is what you want.
