My whole reason for constructing the greenhouse was to grow tomatoes.
Fresh from the garden, still warm from the sun, you can eat them like
an apple!
This is my first experiment with a greenhouse, all as previous
gardening was done in southern California, where greenhouses have to
be refrigerated for the plants to survive.
I was told that it is too cold here to grow tomatoes, so I took the
plunge.
