Early November in Puna

[Devany]

My tomatoes and those of my friends on my street do great here. I do not grow any big ones,just heirlooms; Plum, Roma, and Grape varieties. No Wasps. Lots of peppers too. I do plant them in containers though, as it is easier to maintain perfect soil for various crops & some things need to be protected from salt spray so we can put them anywhere if they are in pots. Richard Ha grows all of his in green houses, but they are hydroponic. Insects can and do still get into green houses. We owned nurseries on the mainland with green houses, in fact if you get aphids they are almost impossible to get out of a green house short unless you remove everything and sterilize everything.
