Winter Tomatoes by stownsend

Winter Tomatoes

We are hoping to have some winter tomatoes. Most winters it works but last year we had a freeze in January that wiped them out. Keeping our fingers crossed for this year.
I would LOVE winter tomatoes! We ate our last early October.

Those yellow buds look promising - wonderful focus - look at those hairs on the stem. Amazing. We're still eating the last of our summer cherry tomatoes - Yours look so healthy!

Also wanted to say, Im proud of you keeping up with 365. I slipped a couple of days. (Stayed home for several days, going through moving boxes in the garage now that it has cooled down enough to do so! (holiday decorations....where I found yet more broken things...!)

@pyrrhula I visited your tomato hot houses! Oh, my goodness but they are wonderful! Are they yours? Is this your business? I guess in Holland you don't have a very long growing season or much space so you really need to have green houses. Thank you so much for sharing with me!

@stownsend Glad you like it . O no , not mine. This are big companies, worth billions of dollars . I`ve been grow up , and was a profession of me to in the past, in the flower business. This is nearly the same , as a farmer does n`t care if he grows food or flowers . (often) So I`ve been there many times.

Dutch horticulture
Dutch horticulture has a global leading position: both
in the construction of greenhouses, and in the provision of knowledge, the introduction of technical
innovation and the supply of starting material. Dutch horticulture
also has a prominent place as a producer and exporter of vegetables from the
greenhouse. Within the European Union, the Netherlands, Spain and Italy the largest producers
of greenhouse vegetables, each with a share of almost 20 percent. The Netherlands
a significantly smaller area than greenhouses Spain and Italy, yet, at the
yield per hectare among the world. The Dutch yield per hectare
almost a factor of ten higher than the Spanish. In the beginning of the nineties
Netherlands is the largest exporter of tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. In Europe
The Netherlands is now in second place. Spain has the largest output
all three of these vegetables

Well, now I want to look for hot houses here in the US but they probably are in the north, not in the south where I am. Thank you for the interesting read!
