What's growing in your Greenhouse?

We're planning a move to a house with a bigger garden and I'm planning to have my very first greenhouse!

Looking for inspiration of things to grow (as a complete beginner!)

We love to eat salad items but I've always wanted to grow flowers too for the house but have NO idea where to start with those.

What have you all been growing this year?

Tomato and cucumber currently

in the autumnI'll put salad leaves

winter it's plants that need shelter

spring will be seedlings and young plants that are growing on waiting for time to plant out.

Things that like warmth to grow: Tomatoes, sweet peppers, chilli peppers, cucumbers, melon.

Other things for an early or longer lasting crop: carrots, sugar snap peas, salad leaves, late crop of potatoes in buckets. We have grown brassicas inside before for this reason too.

Other things we have in ours: a passion fruit which is still quite young and not fruiting, it is being trained up a trellis along one side, a dwarf peach tree (to avoid leaf curl as the one we had outside died, the conditions are too wet here).

Tomatoes, 4 different varieties
Basil, 2 varieties
Chillies, mostly Hungarian hotwax
Marigolds
And cucumbers.
