Agreed, outside growing is every bit as good as greenhouse growing !!!

Matt mckonkie,donkin, bubba,tadd starr and dale marshall have grown area records in their greenhouses. See what caleb jacobelus(sp?) 2096 fruit ends up weighing.When you factor in theres 0nly 1 greenhouse for about every 200 growers which method do you see as having a higher upside.

Well said joe... Totally agree. If I win any prize money this year, it's going toward a greenhouse...

in retrospect . Carl is a greenhouse grower.. so I think he is suggestion you don't need a greenhouse to grow big all the time..

It's hard to argue that a greenhouse doesn't help in many climates, my own included. That being said, it definitely comes with its own set of problems. Of course...maybe I'm just bummed after going 0 for 4 this year. Lol.

Yup a different set of issues...and even that differs between growing locales as well..

This was my first year growing inside and out. There are issues with both. obviously the roof removes some of the weather issues, but you still have to get the water and temp right which is not the easiest thing to do. Learned a lot. Some years I think I will do better outside, most years better inside since I am pretty far North.
