Winter gardening: hydroponic tomatoes
Last winter I planted many varieties of heirloom tomatoes in two hydroponic units in my greenhouse. I used organic nutrients. The results were mixed: The large varieties generally did not have a great flavor or texture (there were a couple of exceptions) but the cherry tomatoes were wonderful. So, this year I'm exclusively growing cherry tomatoes of about a dozen varieties; yellows, reds, blacks, and whites. I started the seeds two weeks ago, then they went into the hydro units yesterday. I am going to keep better records this year and select the best varieties for future plantings. A few pics:
