So, let&#8217;s talk about why we do this, the benefits we see and what our general goals are! This effort is about flexibility. We still have about a month to go to our last frost.

This is basically the revolving door, where our goal is to get from indoor grow room to the semi-heated greenhouse as soon as is feasible. In phase 2, we&#8217;re talking almost everything else that&#8217;s ready! We want to reduce our grow lighting as soon [&#8230;]]]></description>

Generally speaking, you can sow tomatoes anywhere from about 10 weeks to last frost up to 6 weeks before last frost. For us, that&#8217;s the latter half of [&#8230;]]]></description>

One of the great things about dehydration based preservation techniques is that it buys you time. Rendering a shelf stable &#8220;middle product&#8221; allows the grower to keep up with the season, [&#8230;]]]></description>

Our heating systems were kicking on pretty regularly, fighting against overnight temperatures in the 30&#8217;s. Plus, tomato ripening has slowed to a crawl. So, it was time. The main reason for the tear down, though, is the temperatures. We&#8217;re [&#8230;]]]></description>

Now, we won&#8217;t be shy. We strongly prefer &#8220;vine ripened&#8221; tomatoes here. We eat [&#8230;]]]></description>

So much so, we were able to make practically every single thing we wanted. And, even though the end time is near, we still have more tomatoes coming!

					<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re growing tomatoes, at this point, you should be giving serious thought to pruning your tomatoes. We use a pretty aggressive pruning methodology to maintain growth where we want and to encourage fruiting and ripening within our short growing season. We exclusively grow indeterminate tomato varieties. These plants will continue growth and internodal vining [&#8230;]]]></description>

With it being our official last frost date, that means it&#8217;s &#8220;go, go, go&#8221; time!
