Hydro tomatoes in winter w/pics

kimera · February 10, 2007

My hydro tomatoes continue to flourish in the depths of winter. I'm growing heirlooms only. They've climbed into the rafters of my greenhouse. Thought you might like to see a few pics I took today.

Enjoy!

The hydro units each hold 33 plants. I plant the middle row (11 plants) with lettuce because it doesn't grow tall enough to bump into the grow light.

So, I have 44 tomato plants in the two hydro units. Maybe another couple of dozen in containers waiting to be moved outside.

Thanks for your kind words.

Kimera,
Looking good. Really looking great! I know you're proud of the accomplishment. I know I would be.
