Then I built a PVC green house with a visqueen cover .Instand success. The next year I expanded it to 14x50. You and your hubby can build one 12x18 pretty cheaply on a saturday and plant tomatoes in it on Sunday. Most Roma tomatoes are somewhat tolerant of blight, You surely need to look at short maturity dates like Siberia,it's a Russian that tolerates cold temps. Forget big beefstakes and hierlooms without some form of gh. I have more or less the same climate as you do except you are a lot damper. Here is a shot inside a couple of years ago |
