Because we’re honored to be referred to as the “perfect garden tomato,” we figured it would only be fair to share with our gardening brethren (and sistern?) some of the secrets that can be learned from the greenhouse.

1)      Consistency is everything. Light, water and nutrients are all easily recognized, and most gardeners are used to impacting at least 2 of the above. In the greenhouse we are also monitoring other factors like humidity, and employ our own “pollination generation machines”  (bees.)

2)      They’re a lot more tomatoes in your plants. Because of the design of the greenhouse and the consistent “weather” inside, we are able to get 45 lbs of tomatoes out of each plant. One way, is to get the plant to continue to grow. Our plants are 30 feet long before we stop them for the year. Yes, we have to stop the growth although, it has slowed by that time.

3)      Careful pruning makes the plant more efficient. The old growth and those “suckers” steal valuable nutrients from the growing fruit and need to be eliminated.

Nothing happens in the greenhouse that doesn’t happen in your own back yard. We just have the benefit of consistency and someone working on the plants every single day during the year-long season.
