Just curious. For Tomatoes, do you opt for more stable hybrids, or do you do any heirloom/specialty varieties, since they are greenhouse grown? It's amazing how much the price of produce has jumped in the last year. Good luck on your pet project though. I thought I over-planted one year with 20 tomato plants. Couldn't imagine 1200.
