First Tomato day!
(fernchat.esotericmonkey.com)
Howdy, gardeners! Exciting day, the first tomato of the season! This is particularly heartwarming for me as this is a new home, new garden, new tomato cultivar! This is a Gardener's Delight, in a felt pot! I'm in Tacoma, Zone 8b. How are your tomato babies doing?
Is it too late to start growing these, you think? Every time it occurs to me that I want to grow, it’s always too late in the season. Damn.
Nah. Plant em! Make sure you get an indeterminate type. Depending on where you live you might have a pretty long growing period! And you can always invest in a hothouse when the temperatures drop. That's my plan! 😎
