What is "bolour television"?

A strong storm with high winds damaged several of my tomato plants a few
days ago. The heavy loaded plants fell over with the trellises. I think I
will leave them on the ground hoping the main trunk did not break or get
damaged too much or did not up root that much. They are just turning red.

Tomato season typically begins here around the end of July. I can get in
the ground by mid-April, usually by the 1st of May, but the soil doesn't
get to 60F until around the beginning of June. Tomato season has just
begun in Sonoma County. We've had a cool summer. We've only reached 90F
once and that was on the third of July (93 F). Good weather can keep
vines in warmer areas, like Alexander Valley, producing until Nov., but
I'm on the north side of a hill, and the loss of sunlight pretty much
shuts the garden down by the beginning of Oct. The Sun skims the hill,
below the tree line (trees block the sunlight) from mid-November to
February. Kale, beets, parsnips, parsley will over winter, but they
won't grow.

Interesting. Our first frost free day is May 15 but you can plant two
weeks earlier but ground is not warm enough to do much. We end in
October and first frost might be as early as the 15th of Oct. Most aim
for first red tomato by the fourth of July. Unusual to get mine as
early as I did but we've had a very hot summer.

We're a small state and climate only varies a little but I know
California's can be all over the map. One year around labor day when we
were in Orange County it was 105 degrees and a week later in Yosemite
the Donner Pass was snowed in and we could not drive through it.

I've never been able to figure that out. I planted Beefsteak, a
bunch of cherry tomatoes, a Polish Linguisa, and Shumway's "Early
Bird".

The Cherry tomatoes came in first-- [except for some sweet 100s and
some currant tomatoes which still aren't ripening], followed by the
Beefsteak, then the polish Linguisa. The 'Early' plants are
surrounded by ripe tomatoes- but they show no signs of ever getting
ripe. One fell off the vine & I wondered if it was ripe, but still
green. Nope- hard as a rock.

All of those plants were treated exactly the same from seeds- to when
and how they went into the garden. Seems like about 1/2 the time
my 'Early-whatevers' are the last to ripen.

I'm in Zone 5- The garden is at the base of an east facing tree
covered slope-- so the sun 'sets' an hour or two early.

When I planted corn I always planted 3 varieties- early-middle-late.
They never came in in that order- though I got good crops for the
raccoons from all 3 varieties.
