Well after a weekend of graft, we've finally got the greenhouse up! It's a 4x6 Halls Popular - smaller than I'd originally wanted but in hindsight anything bigger wouldn't have fit anyway! I've sprayed it black and will be building to staging and benched from wood.
Not 100% sure what and how it'll be used yet. I'll have tenders to overwinter, but I really like the idea of having an arid house full of cacti and succulents!

@carletonexotic...looks a perfect fit to me and what a lovely garden, the black greenhouse frame works very well with the dark fence panels and really helps the greenhouse blend into the surroundings, looks like it's been there from the start.
Evening everyone...this is one of my toms that lives by the door, so it catches the the brunt of the temperature changes and we've had some cold nights of late...It's not looking to good at the moment.
Looking at the leaves you would think a nutrient deficiency was the cause, but it's in a Quadgrow so getting everything it needs.
Looking at the stem, it could have a fungal infection or maybe, even the dreaded EB, so what do you think?
Would you just cut your losses and remove the plant or monitor the stem and see how it goes.
After asking the above questions on another forum, the answer was that I probably have Late Blight developing on the stem, which will mean it's curtains for the rest of the plants and crop, which is a real shame looking at the time and effort that has gone into looking after them.
The infected plant was removed from the greenhouse and has been burned, this might give the other plants a little more time, but I'm not holding my breath.
Anyhoo, some of the Alicante are starting to ripen and the Beefsteaks are coming on nicely.
Sorry to hear this @Sheps. I have been following your posts regarding your Tom's as I am also growing them. That must be so frustrating seeing all the hard work and effort you have taken.

Hopefully it will keep them out.

The other 4 toms are doing great.
