Over the past few months, Dianne and I from Growing Crazy have been spending a lot of time at Keder Greenhouses’ HQ, putting their display greenhouses through their paces and growing a wide range of crops across the seasons. Our goal has been simple: to see how these structures perform year-round and how effectively they can help extend the growing season, allowing us to keep harvesting fresh ingredients for as long as possible.

Keder Greenhouse is a UK-based designer, manufacturer, and installer of the strongest, most resilient greenhouses on the market, engineered as a complete premium growing system. Every Keder structure is purpose-built to endure the UK’s harsh and unpredictable weather while delivering consistent, high-performance growing conditions year-round.

With a Keder greenhouse, you get more time in the garden each year. It holds warmth, softens light, and keeps steady when the weather turns. That way, short gaps in the weather become longer months of growing potential.

Ensuring your plants are cared for in all conditions in the garden is key to confident greenhouse gardening.

Robust, high-tensile frames stand firm in severe winds; whilst insulating, diffused cladding maintains steady temperatures and keeps light gentle on leaves.

Protect your garden this autumn with expert tips from Keder Greenhouse. Prune, prepare soil, and safeguard plants with storm-proof solutions.

Use a simple four-year cycle. Start with legumes to fix nitrogen. Follow with brassicas, which use that nitrogen for leafy growth. Their strong roots loosen the ground, preparing it for potatoes the next year. Potato foliage helps suppress weeds. Then grow root crops like carrots and beetroot. Loop back by planting legumes where roots were, as they enjoy the loosened soil.
