My Oh My! How our tomatoes have grown! We have fruit and it won't be long until it is ripe. We put this hoop house in to avoid the weather issues we have experienced the last few years. I am thankful we did all this work. The soil here is sandy so we amended it with aged manure; now it is like crumbly cake. We also put in drip irrigation; one strip down each side of the tomato plants. We water every other day and close the sides at night to retain the heat. The tomatoes LOVE the conditions. I also have basil, cukes, peppers and flowers at the far end. I can already taste caprese salad... yum.
