How were your tomatoes this year?

Excellent question. Local nursery (Harmony, Sebastopol, CA) has a mix of seeds that they call green manure. Just a beginner, sorry. I'll try to find out what they got in their mix. Meanwhile, I've planted red clover between my stepping stones. Can't believe it. Rain today. Rain tomorrow. 80 F on Tuesday? Tomatoes still going strong. Oh shoot, you're local. I'm in Fremont. Used to live in Petaluma for a couple of years. Ex-girlfriend in Sebastopol. |

I'm up here with my toes in the Russian River. I guess we'll be saying good-bye to summer for the next few days. I've heard sometimes the river can come find your toes. That was before gentrification. Guerneville is the only town I know that had "normal" flooding but that seems to be a thing of the past. Dams and reservoirs seem to have put an end to our spectacular "normal" flooding. (The river at Mirabelle is normally 40 feet across but with a good flood it can go to a mile or so.) Some of the riverside residents didn't appreciate it but the flooding used to close River Road and nobody could get in or out, or go to work. Quicker than you can say "Bob's your uncle", block parties would breakout on the hillsides among the most dedicated employees and except for the reveling, which lasted late into the night, the nights were quiet. Without the sound of traffic, you could only hear the rain and the wind. It was wonderful, er, horrible that so many dedicated employees were forced to sit idylly by, sipping some calming fluids with their friends and neighbors, waiting for the waters to subside. Life in the woods ain't for the faint of heart. -- FB - FFF Billy Get up, stand up, stand up for yor rights. Get up, stand up, Don't give up the fight. - Bob Marley |

Rubbish. Had seven GardenerŽs Delight plants outside, and the wet weather blighted them. Got the most toms off three plants in a trough against a south-facing wall. Think iŽll just do one in a mini greenhouse this year..probably get a good crop and wonŽt take up as much space.
A good tip for toms is to put a flowerpot into the soil when you plant them, then you can pour water into the pot and it will drain down into the roots rather than evaporating from the surface. |
