A while back I asked how to grow tomatoes in Puna without black mold which devastated my first crop. Thanks to several of you I have been harvesting golf-ball size cherries and some bomber yellow and reddies. Key, I believe, is to minimize foliage moisture. My wife made a heavy plastic roof over a metal frame and voila! It has been really satisfying to harvest corn, manoa lettuce, bok choi, kai choi, and green onions...and tomatoes from our small, but growing, garden plots.

That is AWESOME news! Wife's a smart lady.
I've grown many different fruits & veges but I can tell you there is nothing in the world like walking by a cherry tomato plant
(especially if it's in an upside down 2 liter bottle hanging 5 feet off the ground)
and standing there for a moment and picking and eating a few.
Ohhhh so lovely and scrumptious.
Corn!? terrific.

My greenhouse on B. Glenwiood Rd produces killer tomatoes plus lettuce, chines snow peas, bok choy...... a few other things. I haen't been anle to gt out there myself yet (but getting stronger very day) but my go-to guy Michael is watering and tending the best he can with so much animal care, wood chopping, etc.... he is the best. Anyhow a greenhouse works well up here in the pounding rain but I magine a plastic cover would work well, produce some heat, vry smart!!!!
