Thread: Thai gardening in Denmark

Missus dream about a vegetable garden, but she wants Thai vegetables - not common Danish stuff like carrots and potatoes.

Is it possible to plant Thai vegetables in a climate like Denmark/Northern Europe? We can shop a greenhouse if necessary, but is it enough or do we need to drag a tanning bed into it?

A greenhouse should be ok.

I think you'd be able to grow most things for a limited time each year. Another option would be to put some of her favorites in pots indoors. Of course, if you can afford a greenhouse, there you go.

I think you could do lemon grass, basil, hot peppers and a few more as potted indoor plants. None of those need humidity, they just need to not freeze.

Has any of you actually tried growing Thai vegetables in a garden/greenhouse?

We have done hot peppers indoor. That's quite easy and convinient, although we could grow enough to keep up with missus use of hot peppers.

Wifey are doing some Thai stuff in our garden/greenhouse, there is always Thai ladies around in the summertime picking of the abundance.

Get your wife to phone her, I'm sending you a PM.

A glass greenhouse with heater and humidifier should do the trick and for good measure put in a big screen TV and hook up to Thai web cams so the plants will feel right at home

Wish I had the room for a greenhouse!

Chili plants indoors? Don't they need a good bit of sun?

We have lots of sun in our apartment. High floor and no houses to block the view helps a lot
