Greenhouse tomatoes here go for $2 a pound and thats by the experienced professional growers. I guess they dont make much but probly have a bigger business to make up the differance in loss. Florida isnt far a way and they kill the greenhouse businesses.
Yes, I trim the plants to one stem, I do it exactly the way you do when lowering the plants. I guess I didnt lose many tomatoes when i lowered them ---i just hated that they fell off. They were so heavy----one pound tomatoes in clusters of 5 or more. I will just have to be more careful I guess. New at this. And practice makes perfect right?
Thank you so much for your advice. I appreciate every word.
Its a shame I cant have plastic on whole greenhouse and have the top open up. THat heat needs to go.
I can not imagine the heat in there during July----i sweated like a mad dog with the poly off in May. Lost 15 pounds in one month.
