Doug Green has been in the gardening and nursery trade for over 30 years, growing just about every kind of plant you can imagine. For more years than he cares to admit, he grew a fall crop of tomatoes in his greenhouses for sales to local stores. His own gardening is organic and this was how he grew his plants - safe to eat for his family and neighbors. Green learned the tricks of the trade from the professionals and turned many of these techniques into home garden practices increasing his backyard yields to feed his own family on smaller numbers of plants and to increase his reputation as a lazy gardener always looking for maximum yields with minimum work.
