Default Hydro tomatoes in winter w/pics

My hydro tomatoes continue to flourish in the depths of winter. I'm growing heirlooms only. They've climbed into the rafters of my greenhouse. Thought you might like to see a few pics I took today.

Murderers Row:



The Maters of Wrath:




Talk to the Hand:




Two Hydro Units, No Waiting:



The (edible) fish who share the greenhouse and make the fertilizer:



Enjoy!

The hydro units each hold 33 plants. I plant the middle row (11 plants) with lettuce because it doesn't grow tall enough to bump into the grow light.

So, I have 44 tomato plants in the two hydro units. Maybe another couple of dozen in containers waiting to be moved outside.

Thanks for your kind words.
