Nearly 750 Tomato Plants

What does it look like if you plant 747 tomato plants on less than 4 acres? Here, let me show you:



Building A houses the about 100 big (not cherry) tomato plants and 450 tomato seedlings.

Building B houses the remaining big tomato plants, just transplanted this week. We planted these extra big tomatoes after a local restaurateur asked about buying locally grown product from us later this summer. We had the seedlings and the space, so it just made sense to stick them in the ground.

Building C houses, among other things, 83 hanging tomato baskets. If all goes well, we will have less than 5 of those baskets remaining in 3-4 weeks.

Building D houses all our cherry tomato plants. To maximize the space in the high tunnel, we have onions planted along side these plants. I walked down this row, just to give you a more accurate idea of how many plants are growing in there.

We have itsy-bitsy tomatoes ... about the size of a marble ... growing on the big tomato plants, and lots of blooms on the rest of them. Now, we just sit back, weed, water, and hope for a great harvest.
