Question
a
Dear expert,
I have a commercial greenhouse in a tropical region. it is a 3000 square meter greenhouse which I use it to grow tomato in autumn and winter which the weather is ok for this type of plant. my problem is in other half of the year I can't find any appropriate plant to grow and sell in my greenhouse. because the weather is too hot and humid in spring and summer. do u have any idea about a plant that is ok with this type of climate and is economically full of profit?
this is the weather history of my region in previous 30 years.this region is located in 30 km distance to sea with 30 meter over sea level altitude.
Notice that it is hard for me to make my greenhouse clod in spring and summer but it is possible to make it a little colder than outside.

AnswerHi Amir, your geographical region sounds similar to where I am,,,but probably a little more heat and humidity..(I am in South Florida); Okra and Cherry Tomatoes grow well here during the extreme Months of June through September. I also grow Hot Peppers,,,and keep them in containers, located out of the afternoon Sun,,,they thrive! year after year! There are many varieties and many newer types that have really caught on,,,,like the Ghost Pepper,,which from what I have read,,can be profitable to grow. You can research the many "dwarf" varieties of Mango, Banana, Citrus to name a few, that grow well in large containers. Hope this helps..Nick
