That's a good point regarding temperature. One of the things we
particularly noticed this year was the very rapid and wide temperature
fluctuations in the g/house.
We were saying only recently that this year seems to be a never ending
cool April season....showers and shine. Low dull weather GH temps would
rocket within seconds to almost 100 as cloud cleared the sun, then drop
to chilly just as quickly.
Of course temperature changes are nothing new, but it does seem the
swings are maybe more extreme so far......but it could be just
imagination and me clutching at straws here?

Another thing we've noticed is that the fruit have tougher skins,
particularly the smaller ones.

Colder temperatures = harder/thicker skins

(Compare outdoor and greenhouse tomatoes)
