Default Florida Greenhouse on Tennis Court

Hey, it's great to be here and nice to meet everyone. This would be my first post and contribution to Tomatoville. I am into about my second year growing tomatoes and other vegetable produce. I have helped start an all organic community garden where I reside in NorthWest Florida where the humidity, heat and insects are loving life. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to grow hydroponically a couple years ago using Crop King's dutch bucket system with a couple hundred tomatoes split between a couple greenhouses in Virginia about a half hour from Blacksburg or Virginia Tech. The main greenhouse I worked in was adjacent to the living facility. Each morning walking downstairs yielded a beautiful gaze of the greenhouse from the kitchen windows. That year I had 50+ft plants and no deaths! Sadly, a little over a year I moved back to FL. Now I do not have much to spend on a greenhouse project so I just purchased a put it together model. My girlfriend helped me put it together, but somehow she managed to put some pieces in wrong so a little double timing was in order, lol. This is what I love to do and need advice from other experts here and look forward to discussing subjects. Right now I am enjoying the 100% humidity and 90+ degrees with about 55 tomatoes on the tennis court in the back yard. I know... tennis court wasn't exactly my first choice, but it has been working out *scratches head* somehow...

Tomatoes: Mortgage Lifter, Cherokee Purple, Black Krim, Crimson Carmello, Costoluto, Persimmon, Sweet 100 Cherry, Black Cherry, Jelly Bean Red/Yellow Grape
