Q&A: What Vegetables grow well in a hothouse?

Question by ChristianTeenager: What Vegetables grow well in a hothouse?
My Dad has just said I can use part of our huge hothouse (plastic greenhouse) to plant a garden in.
it has been used as a shed for obviously a long time. there is a lot of mossy stuff on the roof but the sunlight still gets in. the dirt is very dusty, we are suspicious about how fertile it is but then in the section where there is a hole in the roof lots of moss and weeds are growing.
I would probably dig a section over and add some compost and maybe comestible stuff and then plant some seed. my family eats A LOT of potatoes, onions, carrots, tomatoes, cauliflower. do you think these plants will grow well, other suggestions, we would eat anything that is good in a stew or stir fry.
So basicly we’re only growing in the hothouse because it’s a huge space of land and we’re not supposed to go digging aimlessly around our rental property. – and yes, I agree that we need to fix the roof it’s pritty bad.

Knowing where you live and what normally grows when in your area would be helpful. With that, your observation about moss and weeds under the hole tells me you really need to clean the roof and if you are trying to extend the season, patch the roof hole and seal the place up, otherwise what you have is a garden without as much sunlight as growing outdoors. And its not going to be particularly hot, with that hole.

There must be some reason you want to do this, maybe rabbit, deer or alien control? I just can’t figure it out. Insufficient light yields leggy plants that don’t grow well.

Let me know if I missed a key verb or something.
