Are you interested in growing your own food but don't live on a farm? According to Cooped Up Life, an online gardening resource, vegetable seeds are the most popular seeds purchased by Americans, with a massive 48% share in the market. Here are some popular items you can get for your garden greenhouse.

1. Tomatoes

Whether you love homemade pasta sauce, colorful summer salad, or salsa, tomatoes are a great addition to any garden greenhouse. Tomatoes are great for your cardiovascular system and overall heart health. The best ones to grow at home include cherry tomatoes.

2. Peppers

If you need some extra vitamin C in your life, try growing some peppers. Make sure you have deep and wide containers to plant them in. The soil should be warm but not hot, so avoid planting in the summer. Add them to your grilled kabobs, or try an easy red pepper hummus recipe.

3. Carrots

Vitamin A is one of the main nutrients humans need for healthy eyesight. Growing your own carrots will give you an ample supply of these nutrients, along with antioxidants and fiber. Plant these crunchy vegetables in the spring and they'll be ready to pick and eat in about three months.

4. Cucumbers

If you're growing tomatoes, you might as well grow some cucumbers for a fresh Greek salad or a refreshing addition to your drinking water. These crunchy veggies have potassium and vitamin C and are known for being one of the most hydrating vegetables you can eat. They also don't take up too much space in your garden. Always grow them in a warm and moist environment with at least eight hours of sunlight a day.

5. Peas

Are you looking forward to making a nice hot bowl of pea soup in the wintertime? Add these to your garden greenhouse, and you'll have a tasty veggie that easily resists disease and has loads of vitamin K and fiber. Just remember to keep them away from the frost in the wintertime and give them ample hydration.

There's nothing like going into your garden knowing you can pick fresh and colorful vegetables and fruit to eat anytime you want. Whether you're growing tomatoes, peas, spinach, or more, you have several options to turn your garden greenhouse into an ample food source.
