This morning, noticed there is already a little tiny tomato forming on one
of the plants. The plant is only about a foot tall and haven't staked it
yet, but there's a little tiny tomato about the size of marble.
Me, too. Got a few happy lil' campers. Hope they maintain their "cool" through the summer. Because our beach community gets marine layer, at least through "May gray" and "June gloom", tomatoes don't always do well.
I've had good years and bad years and terrific years.
Sometimes I wonder why I bother. In summer, good US tomatoes are cheap and abundant, esp. at the farmers markets. In winter, when I yearn for them, can only get Mexican ones (fertilized with the stuff we sell them because it's illegal up here) Go figure!
