ckf Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share Posted May 13, 2019 Today has been much nicer than the forecast. We've had mostly sunny skies and temps in the mid 60's . I hope they are wrong about the upcoming snow in the forecast too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played around with the greenhouse today trying to seal up some of he cracks and gaps. At one point it was in the upper 80's in there. I've always had trouble growing tomatoes up here because of the cooler temps. It looks like it should work out pretty good. If I don't have any issues with it this summer I'll probably upgrade to the 10x10 or 10x20 so we can do enough tomatoes to can for winter.

Slice em , olive oil , little salt, little pepper , little basil and some fresh ground parmisian I love the cherry tomatoes right of the vine. We have sliced tomatoes with dinner quite a bit when they are good. I like them with either a little sea salt or a touch of sugar depending on what we are having for dinner. What do you do for tomatoes? heirloom? I've always done the early girl/boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started some cherry tomatoes about a week ago. I'm just going to buy the regular ones. We use a lot of diced tomatoes for different meals. Would you use plum or slicing tomatoes for that?

Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted May 13, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 13, 2019 slicing, the plums are very meaty. That's why they make good sauce. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to do the tomatoes in 5 gallon grow bags so I can move them around. I know I'll run out of room in the small greenhouse pretty fast if they do anything like they did when I worked at a greenhouse when I was a kid. They were 8-10 feet tall and I think they were the early girls or boys (same plant just a different name for marketing(atl east it was back then)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
