Tomato Update!

Aum.

It's been a little over a month from our planting blessing in our new greenhouse and we already can see our first burgeoning bunches of beautiful tomatoes. Today these happy plants received a trim off their lower leaves, allowing natural sunlight to reach the fruits. The direct light will help increase enzymatic activity in the fruits, degrading acids and enhancing sweetness. Not long and our monks will be enjoying these wonderful tomatoes with their meals. Jai!

These tomatoes are growing strong and healthy

The new greenhouse is the one on the left

Here are the plants before the trimming of the lower leaves

After trimming, the fruit is open to the light

After going down the whole row, we can see that a surprising amount of tomatoes have grown

An advanced operation indeed

Here are the next plants. They are smaller, bunching varieties.
