hello this is my first posting on here and i hope somebody can help. my
tomoatoes in the greenhouse are still not flowering although some are
about 15 inches high. i'm concerned i planted them out too late - last
weekend. i am however near glasgow so the greenhouse even now still
drops to 5-10 degrees at night. will they eventually flower? i'm hoping
they will i've planted out 30 of them!


You need a soil temp of 70F, and night time temps in the 50Fs for
tomatoes. Ten degrees Fahrenheit would flat out kill a tomato plant, so
you must either not know how to read a thermometer, or you are a troll.

Mad dog Republicans to the right. Democratic spider webs to the left. True conservatives, and liberals not to be found anywhere in the phantasmagoria
of the American political landscape.

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.
