greenhouse growing of heirloom tomatoes

I just finished harvesting a late crop of heirloom tomatoes from my greenhouse (finished Nov 8). These were started in late June/early July for a late season harvest, and grown organically in a medium of soil, peat and manure - fertilized only with fish emulsion, seaweed extract, etc. Note, I am fairly north, so it's already pretty cold with shorter days up this way.

This was my first experiment with heirlooms in a greenhouse for a delayed season. I am looking for other growers who are growing heirloom tomatoes in a greenhouse so we can compare notes.

You might want to post over on the Greenhouse forum or the Hydroponics forum as that is where most of the greenhouse growers congregate.

If I can convince the family to take down our ugly old above-ground pool and replace it with a nice greenhouse for Mommy, then I will be participating in this effort. I think my chances are slim, though. And I'm kinda jealous.
