Tomatoes are a generous source of vitamins A and C, as well as the antioxidant lycopene, all of which help stimulate the body's immune system. Growing the best varieties of tomatoes in 2018 is profitable due to the high yield - on average, you can get up to ten kilograms or more from a bush.
And another good reason to grow tomatoes is their flavor. Commercial crops are removed from the bushes unripe for transportation purposes and the aroma inevitably suffers. The tomatoes you grow yourself can be picked completely ripe and will smell just divine.
Since there are over 7,500 varieties of tomatoes, choosing the right one for your greenhouse can be a daunting task. Nevertheless, some varieties of tomatoes are bred specifically for growing in a greenhouse and they produce fruits for a longer period than other varieties.
