The greenhouse has an abundant supply of tomato plants; I am trying to make that an abundant supply of tomatoes.
Back in the spring we started this year’s experiment with tomatoes by purchasing 12 tomato plants. Ten of them are still alive with green tomatoes still turning white to orange to red in the greenhouse annex.
Our next foray was planting seeds for Korean Long tomatoes, which ended with 12 successful bag plants. Six were moved outside and six remained in the greenhouse. All 12 survive and are hopefully just getting into their main bearing phase. The outside tomatoes are in the annex. The other six grew so densely this summer that they had to be detangled and parted when I shifted things around in the greenhouse for the fall/winter arrangement. I pruned quite a few wounded branches, but the plants are coming along nicely.
The most recent addition is the new beefsteak tomato plants from seed (picture above) that seem to be doing nicely. I have to stake them up already as if I try to water the plants on their leaves it knocks them over.
